Boundaries aren't just a buzzword; they're your mental health's best friend. It's not selfish to say no; it's self-care. 💪
It might seem hard or scary, but it's so important-- copy and paste these to use where applicable:
- Direct and Polite: "I'd love to help, but unfortunately, I can't right now."
- Give a Reason: "Thanks for thinking of me, but I have too much on my plate at the moment."
- Assertive: "I'd rather not, but thanks for thinking of me."
- Apologetic: "I'm really sorry, but I have to pass."
- Compromise: "I can't do the whole thing, but I can help with [specific part]."
- The Randy Jackson: "That's a no from me, dawg."
