Boundaries can be a thought of as a stop 🛑 sign in a person’s life. It’s okay to set boundaries. You are protecting yourself mentally when you do that. Takeaways: Goal-setting: Ask yourself, what is the goal in setting a boundary or needing to set a boundary?

Start small: Setting boundaries may be uncomfortable. The key is to start small and focus on one thing at a time.

Be clear: Focus on what you want as clearly as possible.

Practice: If thinking about setting a boundary makes you nervous, write out what you want to say beforehand or practice in the mirror.

Keep it simple: This is a time when less is more. Rather than overloading someone with too many details, pick the main thing that is bothering you and focus on that.
