Transcript

Do some of your relationships require a hazard sign or maybe a stop sign?

Do your relationships belong in the city dump?

Some relationships are simply toxic,

Toxic to our health,

Our lives,

And our overall well-being.

If you are in a relationship like this,

The first step is to set boundaries.

Know your limits.

You need to be in control of you and your life.

You can't control the other person,

You can only tell them what behavior is acceptable from them and how much you will put up with.

Setting healthy boundaries will also put your mind at ease so you will know when to get out and not have to worry about things getting bad because your limit will be reached way before that.

I know if it is family,

You just can't walk away and leave the relationship for good,

Or maybe it is that bad you need to.

But if your family is toxic but tolerable,

You need to set healthy boundaries and make sure they are aware of your limits.

Then this will protect you and your health,

Both physical and mental.

Plus give them a chance to behave and act properly if they want you around.

This way they can meet your expectations or it falls on them if they don't.

You fulfilled your responsibility in the relationship by telling them what you would accept.

You are not an afterthought.

You need to love you and be good to you.

You worry about everyone else's feelings,

Worry about your own.

Be free to set boundaries.
