FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS
As difficult as this might be for you to ACCEPT, the truth is, you already know this is true.
Think about it... If you want your kid’ s behavior to improve and you pick up a parenting book to learn something new. You don’ t sit your 3-year-old down and say,“ Listen, you better read this book because your behavior stinks, kiddo!”( hehe)
Nope. You read the book. It tells you,“ next time, try THIS when interacting with your child”. You do it and your kid’ s behavior CHANGES!
It’ s actually the SAME dynamic in coworker relationships, marriage, family members, clients and others.
It’ s just that no one gave you the‘ Book of Answers’... Until Now! Chapter 1 of our new book, The Missing Piece gives you the tool required to shift what someone else does or says.
Lie # 3: I need to put up boundaries to protect myself.
In a more primitive time, when a person had NO boundaries, no self-preservation, no self-empowerment … boundaries were a new concept and a very productive FIRST step out of the hell-hole of being walked all over.
AND, what was once progressive has become primitive.
When you put up a boundary, you are, by definition, telling another human what they can or cannot do in relationship to you.
A boundary is a RULE that you have for others.
