Boundaries Are a Good Thing

 (Tips to keep from being overwhelmed #3)

3. Boundaries are a good thing

In our house there is not a lot of storage space. I have learned that this can be a good thing. I can only keep what fits in that space. It helps me to not keep everything. If I don't have enough space, I look for what I can get rid of. 

There are times when our space is simply too small. Especially if our family is growing or if we live in a very small space. But in general, it helps to look at boundaries in a positive light. One of our daughters has a very small room. Instead of complaining that it's so small, I can be thankful that a small room keeps her from hanging on to everything because it simply can't fit! She can only keep what fits in her room. If she had a bigger room, she would end up with way more stuff to try to keep tidy. The boundaries make the decisions for us.

So if you have limited space, look at it as a positive thing! Boundaries make decisions for you.
