Approach life with a boundary focus and discover that nobody can 'make' you feel or do anything; only you are responsible for you feel. You will be able to switch your rational brain on, and your emotional brain off, when making decisions or facing challenges. And you are far better placed to minimise stress. By implementing boundaries so that you take responsibility only for yourself we will lessen interper- sonal conflict, and greatly enhance your feelings of contentment, ful- fillment and balance.
