Building Your Boundary Muscle — One Step at a Time
Setting boundaries can feel overwhelming. But here’s the secret: boundaries are like muscles 💪 — they get stronger with practice.
You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight.
Here’s where to begin:
✅ Pause before saying yes — give yourself space to reflect
✅ Notice resentment — it’s often a signal a boundary is needed
✅ Be direct and clear — “I can’t make it.” No lengthy explanations needed
✅ Be kind to yourself — it’s normal to feel awkward at first
And remember: if early experiences taught you that setting limits is risky, it makes total sense that boundaries feel hard now. But you can unlearn those patterns. You can build new ones 🌱.
Burnout isn’t the price you have to pay to be a good friend, partner or employee.
Protecting your energy is an act of self-respect 🙏.
