Set boundaries to protect your time and energy from "summary" of Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight

Setting boundaries to protect your time and energy is crucial to your overall well-being. When you allow others to encroach upon your time and energy without limits, you risk feeling overwhelmed and drained. This can lead to increased stress and anxiety, ultimately affecting your mental and physical health. Establishing boundaries means being clear about what you will and will not tolerate in terms of how others treat you and how much of yourself you are willing to give. It involves communicating your needs and expectations effectively to ensure that your time and energy are respected and preserved. By setting boundaries, you are asserting your worth and value. You are sending a message to yourself and others that your time and energy are precious resources that should be protected. This can help you maintain a sense of control over your life and prevent you from feeling constantly pulled in different directions. Learning to say no is an important aspect of setting boundaries. Saying no does not make you selfish or uncaring; it simply means that you are prioritizing your own needs and well-being. It is essential to recognize that you cannot pour from an empty cup, and that taking care of yourself should always come first. Setting boundaries may require you to have difficult conversations and confront uncomfortable situations. However, it is important to remember that doing so is ultimately for your own benefit. By establishing clear boundaries, you are creating a healthier and more balanced life for yourself, which can lead to increased happiness and fulfillment.
  1. It is important to be assertive and confident in expressing your needs. You should not feel guilty or apologetic for setting boundaries; instead, you should feel empowered and in control of your own life. Remember that you have the right to protect your time and energy, and that doing so is essential for your overall well-being.
