Do you get sick of second-guessing yourself in relationships?

Maybe you don’t know when to stand up for yourself or when to say no. Setting the right boundaries can feel intimidating or even confusing when you don’t know where to draw the line.

I used to worry how others would react, nor did I know when it was time to no, because I did not have a clear framework.

Then, one day I thought about it. I was programming and realized that coding isn’t any different from setting boundaries.

Everything just “clicked.”

I struggled to set limits or entirely cut out relationships, because I was making decisions based on how I felt. With programming languages, you write your code and delegate the task to the computer.

Like programming, I decided to stop overthinking boundary-setting, and let “IF-THEN” (“IF-ELSE”) statements do the work for me.

That’s why I created this boundary setting cheat sheet.
