boundaries: loving others AND ourselves

Boundaries are there so that we don't forget that there are two people in a relationship: we are one of those people! For those of us who have a tendency to give more than is required in a relationship--or give more than receive--we can sometimes grow resentful & forget that WE also deserve to be loved by ourselves too! Our own actions within relationships can betray our needs, wants, or values. Boundaries are the rules we make for ourselves that can keep us in line with our needs, wants, and values--an act of showing love to ourselves.

So here's a reminder that boundaries allow us to love others in the amounts that we are able & capable of doing....while ALSO loving ourselves at the same time!
