🛑 Permission slip you didn't know you needed:
It's not just okay to:
1.Say no without explaining or apologizing
2.Take a break before you break
3. Ask for help when you're struggling
4.Put yourself first without feeling selfish
It's essential for your mental health.
Here's the truth many of us weren't taught: boundaries aren't mean.
They're how you protect your energy so you can show up fully for the things and people that truly matter.
Saying yes to everyone else while saying no to yourself?
That's the recipe for anxiety, burnout, and resentment.
Which of these is hardest for you?
Drop a number 1-4 in the comments.
You might be surprised how many people share your struggle. 💚
(And if all four feel impossible, that might be worth exploring with a therapist. Difficulty setting boundaries often has roots worth understanding.)
