The word boundaries mean many things to many people.  In general, though, healthy boundaries indicate healthy and authentic relationships with ourselves and others. One of the more common ways that our boundaries are crossed is when we do not appreciate ourselves.  We seek this approval and appreciation from others and constantly wish that others would have more time and energy in appreciating you. One of the pillars in addressing boundary trespassers is by being made aware of what is happening.  And awareness is built once we can identify and untangle the complex emotions felt when this happens.  If you can identify and relate to any of the points above, consider trying to journal to identify what boundaries you want in your life and relationships.
