In today's Daily Shift, we're reframing the way we think about boundaries — not as walls, but as acts of care.

Many people learned that setting boundaries requires distance, tension, or emotional shutdown. But boundaries don't have to be sharp or defensive to be effective. They can be gentle, clear, and rooted in regulation.

This short, grounding episode is a reminder that:

• Boundaries don't require anger or conflict

• You can protect your limits without hardening

• Clarity can exist alongside compassion

• Setting boundaries is a way of honoring what's sustainable

As you move through your day, notice where a gentle boundary might support you — without guilt or over-explanation.

This has been today's Daily Shift. Small shifts create big change.
