Features: Has your life lost control? Are others always taking advantage of you? Do you find it hard to say "no" to others? Are you disappointed because God hasn't answered your prayers? People often focus on having love and avoiding selfishness, yet forget their own limitations and boundaries. They often ask: "Isn't it selfish not to have boundaries with others?" "How should I respond to those who need my love, energy, or financial help?" "Why do I feel guilty or fearful when setting boundaries?" "Can I still be a loving person after setting limits?" To live a balanced and healthy life, clear "boundaries" are essential. They are the dividing line of personal ownership, indicating what you should be responsible for. They can define who you are, or, who you are not. Boundaries deeply affect every aspect of our lives. Physical boundaries: Help us decide under what circumstances, who can touch our bodies. Mental boundaries: Give us the freedom to have personal thoughts and opinions. Emotional boundaries: Help us manage our emotions and avoid harmful or manipulative emotions from others. Spiritual boundaries: Help us distinguish between God's intentions and personal desires.
