The ability to say, "No"

I talk a lot about healthy boundaries with my clients.  We talk about the ways they can take better care of themselves in relationships.  There is a ton of information on the internet about boundaries, and while I was surfing just now, I came across this very good description and thought you might like to check into it   

Developing Healthy Boundaries by Maggie Down

I'll be writing more about boundaries in the days to come, but thought this would give you a good start. Our culture doesn't encourage us to use our intuition, to say "no" to things we don't like or disagree with, to take care of our own selves before we take care of others.  But pursuing healthier boundaires can really simplify your life and bring you greater joy.
