answers for him- or herself, instead of needing to go through me or another person.
    So, in my teaching I began emphasizing how to receive clear angel messages for yourself. I also created defined breaks in the schedule for the course, during which I wouldn’t allow anyone to ask me questions. When questioned during my break, I’d say: “Other people may want to hear the answer to this question, so let’s save it for when we’re all back together.” I’d also tell students that I was in a human body that needed rest and recharging.
    I knew that by taking a break, I’d be a more effective and higher-energy teacher. I’d also be happier, which is a very important quality in a teacher. I’ve always told my students that it’s beneficial to take lots of different classes, as long as the teacher is a happy person. A happy teacher teaches other people how to be happy, both directly and by role-modeling happiness. And happiness is the most important thing anyone can teach!
    In addition, when you exercise strong and healthy boundaries as a parent, you teach your children how to do the same. Don’t you want your children to grow up learning to respect themselves, their time, and their energy levels? Of course you do! Well, so too does God want this for you and everyone else!
    Affirm often: “I think I can; therefore I can!”
    Plenty of people come to me and argue in favor of their limitations. They forcefully tell me why they can’t enact the positive steps that their angels are guiding them to take. They imply that they’re somehow exceptional and are being blocked or thwarted from their dreams. Everyone else gets cut a break, but they’re very special victims in their own minds.
    If they would put half the energy they expend arguing for what they can’t do toward arguing in favor of what they can do, then they would be well on their way to living their dream lives!
    Benefits of Boundaries
    When you exercise your boundaries and learn to say no, you have more free time to devote to your passions and priorities, instead of feeling like you have to steal away moments to write that article, take that class, read that book, learn to play that musical instrument, start that new business, practice your healing skills . . . and so forth.
    Boundaries give you a healthier and happier mind and a higher energy level, because you’re no longer fixated on the thought that people have taken advantage of you. When you feel resentful, you obsessively think about the other person’s inconsiderate behavior toward you. This type of thought pattern, if left unchecked, can lead to depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, loneliness, fearfulness, and other toxic results.

CHAPTER THREE
    NO MORE RESCUING: BOUNDARIES WITHOUT GUILT OR FEAR
    E arth Angels think that rescuing is a normal part of all relationships. They see themselves as strong and able to manifest endless resources—which is an accurate description, because they’ve learned how to tap into Source for energy and supply.
    Earth Angels are so empathetic that they can feel everyone’s emotions, especially the painful ones. In fact, many Earth Angels have difficulty distinguishing their own feelings from other people’s.
    The combination of Earth Angels being able to feel other people’s pain plus their desire for everyone to be happy makes them natural rescuers.
    Rescuing is a beautiful thing to do if you’re a firefighter or medical first responder, or in any situation where the person is unable to help him- or herself. But rescuing people who could dig themselves out of their own jams is where Earth Angels get into trouble.
