One of the most significant steps in self-care is learning to say "no." Setting boundaries is crucial for protecting your time and energy. Start by identifying areas in your life where you feel overwhelmed, and practice asserting your limits. This will help you create space for activities that truly nourish you.
Establish healthy boundaries to protect your time.
Here are some steps you can take to set boundaries:
1.Assess Commitments:
- Write down all current obligations (work, social, family).
- Identify which ones drain your energy or don’t bring you joy.
2. Practice Saying No:
- Prepare polite responses for declining invitations or requests that feel overwhelming.
- Role-play these responses with a trusted friend if needed.
3. Schedule ‘Me Time':
- Block out specific times in your calendar dedicated to self-care activities
You got this!!
