how boundaries benefit our health

You can be doing everything right.  Eating clean and working out like never before.  But if your boundaries are being violated you're compromising all your hard work.  I've had alot of experience with drawing boundaries and its changed my life everytime.  When we let people violate our boundaries we become weak because we're giving our energy away.  We only have so much bandwidth so if we're giving it away we are losing our own energy.  That energy is vital to our wellness.  If you're feeling pushed, you must draw a boundary.  Studies have shown for example, that victims of narcisistic abuse or codependency have higher incidence of all illness...but namely auto-immune disease.  If you are experiencing auto-immune disorders look at your bourndaries and make sure you're not missing anything.
