Set boundaries in your life from "summary" of Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes

Setting boundaries in your life is crucial, my friends. It's about knowing your limits and not being afraid to enforce them. Boundaries are like guardrails on a highway - they keep you safe and on the right path. Without them, you may find yourself veering off course and getting lost in a sea of other people's needs and expectations. When you set boundaries, you are essentially drawing a line in the sand and saying, "This is where I stand." You are telling the world what you will and will not tolerate. This may mean saying no to things that don't serve you or setting limits on how much time and energy you are willing to give to certain people or activities. Boundaries are not about being selfish or mean; they are about self-preservation and self-respect. It's okay to put yourself first sometimes and prioritize your well-being. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. By setting boundaries, you are taking care of yourself and ensuring that you have the capacity to show up fully for the things and people that truly matter to you. Don't be afraid to communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively. It's important to be direct and honest about what you need and expect from others. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but trust me, it gets easier with practice. People will respect you more when they see that you value yourself enough to set boundaries. Boundaries also help you maintain a sense of balance in your life. They prevent you from overextending yourself and burning out. Remember, it's okay to say no and prioritize your own well-being. Your mental, emotional, and physical health should always come first. So, my friends, set those boundaries and watch how your life transforms for the better.
