Boundaries 101: Say Yes to Yourself

Healthy boundaries are acts of care. Clarify your availability this season what you can truly offer. Identify one area where your energy leaks, then draft a kind boundary statement: “I’m not available for X, but I can Y.” Practice it aloud. Expect mild pushback; respond calmly and consistently. Use time limits to protect focus blocks and set tech boundaries to protect recovery. Safeguard non‑negotiable self‑care windows sleep, meals, movement. Replace guilt with the value your boundary protects: presence for loved ones, attention for meaningful work, peace for your health. Communicate earlier rather than after resentment builds. Keep it simple and repeat as needed. Decline with appreciation and clarity, offering alternatives when appropriate. Reassess monthly; seasons change, so will your limits. Boundaries create the peace your best life requires.
