Boundaries Boundaries Boundaries!!

No matter if you are sports fanatic or not at some point we have at least seen a glimpse of a sporting event.  Within sports you have boundaries that you need to stay in for the game or match to keep going.  When those boundaries have been crossed then play comes to a stop and everything has to be reset in order to get the play back in action.  Boundaries in sports are also to help to know which players are eligible for play at that moment and which players are not.  With this concept of boundaries in sports maybe its something we should also implement into our on lives.

Setting boundaries within your life with family, significant others, and friends is a way to let others know how you want to be treated and respected.  So, as long as everyone stays within your personal boundaries then play can continue on, but when someone goes outside of those boundaries then play stops.  That is when you need to look at yourself and determine am I going to let that slide or throw a red flag and review the action.  It is easy to set boundaries and let everything go casual but its so important to ensure that everyone knows that if they go out of bounds they might have to sit on the sidelines for a minute or two.  So, set your boundaries and make people aware of them so you are treated with the respect that you deserve.
