The limits show you who you really are… what you enjoy, what you accept, what you think, what you desire, what you feel. They are important in every relationship, as through them you show your true self and communicate your needs and values.

Boundaries can be material, physical, cognitive, emotional, sexual, or spiritual. The materials limits concern material objects, e.g. money, clothes, food, etc.. The physically boundaries concern your body, privacy, personal space. The cognitively boundaries concern your values, beliefs, opinions, thoughts. The sexually boundaries regarding sexual intercourse as to what is acceptable and what is not. The emotionally boundaries are about your feelings and your responsibility for them to yourself, but also to others. The spiritually boundaries concern your beliefs and experiences about God or a higher power.

How can you set your limits??

• Set your Goals. Clarify what it is that you really want to achieve and that is of value to you. Make a plan to achieve them and don't deviate. He determined his priorities. Prioritize you.
• Each person is responsible for their own feelings. It's likely that saying no to someone will cause them some negative feelings. But you cannot control these, nor do they depend on you, as they concern the interpretation of the other person's behavior and the expectations he had. So don't take responsibility for other people's feelings.
• Don't start making excuses and overanalyzing because you felt the need to say no. It is your choice and your right.
• Stand up to manipulative people. Some people can't take no and try to manipulate and convince you. Be true to your choice. It's certainly not easy, but boundaries are necessary for a happy life.

Finally, the way you set your limits matters. Calmness, kindness, assertiveness and stability are important characteristics of him. Through boundaries you determine to what extent someone can intervene in your life and influence you. A prerequisite, of course, is to exonerate yourself. Love doesn't mean saying yes to everything.
