PURPOSES OF LIMITS
Limits not only help us establish the difference between caring for and care-taking, they separate quantity from quality. Caring for and staying within one's limits leaves us feeling like there has been a compassionate exchange of time, energy, respect, and love. Care-taking very often leaves us drained, exhausted and resentful because we went way past our limits.
Here are a few more examples of less dramatic ways to thinks about limits:
•I’ll only be able to go one more week.
•I’ll explain this two more times.
•I can talk about his for thirty minutes.
•I’ll give my boss one month to respond to my request.
