PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Is your life out of control?
Are people running over you?
Friends, family and bosses not respecting your space or time?
Without boundaries, your life will be in chaos
You need proper boundaries in your life!
What are personal boundaries?
Boundaries are limits that a person sets to encourage acceptable behavior from others. These are enforced by consequences for breaching the limits.
Sometimes people avoid boundaries because they believe lies others have told them
Myth #1
Boundaries are selfish
Truth:
Without boundaries, we cannot serve and honor God properly
Myth 2:
Others will be mad at me
Truth:
Maybe for a season, but that means your boundaries are working!
Myth 3
I will be hurting others
Truth:
Offending parties need to feel the pain so they will make changes
Myth 4
Setting boundaries means you are angry
Truth:
A knee-jerk reaction from others. You will become less angry because boundary violation lessens
Myth 5:
People will not respect your boundaries
Truth:
If you consistently apply consequences for violation, people will respect your boundaries
