Setting Boundaries

There is a time to say yes and a time to give No as an answer. No matter how kind and loving and very emotional you are, there are times you might need to say No.



So as much as I hate to have my child cry over a request I can grant but there are times I need to be firm and give No as an answer for reasons best known to me.

In the same vein, we should set boundaries and know when to draw the lines when dealing with others, with our relationships, and businesses. It is ok to say No, no one needs to agree with your decision. Don't suppress your needs and emotions because you want to please him or her. Setting boundaries is healthy.


I have learned and practiced setting boundaries and it has helped me a great deal. It has equally helped my finance. Sometimes you might not have an item in your budget for the month, but simply because you can't say No to that friend selling an asoebi (uniform) for her wedding you inconvenience yourself, your finance to please someone else and end up with regrets. It is time to set that boundary.


When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable. We feel used and mistreated.

You don't join the crowd because everyone is doing it. Set boundaries. You should be known for your unique self. This is very important and will bring you so much peace.

Learn to say No and mean No, learn to say yes and mean Yes. Be in control of your life.

How did it make you feel?
Was it helpful?
Did you feel guilty?

I would love to hear from you

Have a Merry Christmas in advance.
