Building Better Boundaries

5-Module Self Study Course: Keeping the peace and trying to make everyone else happy seems like the “nice” thing to do. But after awhile, it can feel like you are being walked all over, leading to simmering frustration and tension in your relationships. That’s why the ability to set clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Personal boundaries are guidelines, rules, or limits that we create to define acceptable behaviour for ourselves and others.

However, building boundaries can seem like a confusing or daunting idea to some people.
