You must set boundaries

If you frequently feel like people take advantage of you, this one is for you. I have always struggled to set clear boundaries with people and to say no, this frequently led to resentment and the eventual breakdown of many of my relationships with people as I eventually tired from always doing so much or never saying no when I knew I needed to. I am learning and working on this lately and have grown to understand just how detrimental boundaries are in all relationships, whether it is with your friends, family or spouse. It is ok to take time for yourself, it is ok to say no, it is ok to put your needs in front of the needs of others when you know you have to.
