It's time to get up on your back legs and say "NO!" and "NO MORE!" It's time to <strong>strengthen your boundaries</strong>.</p><br><p>If you were raised by a <strong>#Hijackal</strong>, a relentlessly difficult person, you've likely been trampled on so frequently that you learned that it's often safer to just lie there. Time to get up!</p><br><p>Boundaries frighten and inflame Hijackals. No question. But, you're not just going to lie there and take what they dish out are you? No, I'm not suggesting that you get in their face, and fight back. Something more powerful! In today's episode, I'm giving you some reasons and strategies for simply standing your ground without drama.</p><br><p>Will the #Hijackal provide more drama? Sure. But, you won't. What the Hijackal does is on him or her!</p><br><p>Your<strong> emotional health </strong>and <strong>emotional well-being</strong> is directly related to your ability--and your willingness--to <strong>manage your boundaries</strong>. Could they use shoring up?
