Set one small boundary kindly

Tell someone what you can and can't do in a respectful way.

Why it helps

Clear boundaries make relationships more honest and less draining. People usually respect them more than we fear.

How to do it

1. Choose a situation that regularly leaves you tired.
2. Write one sentence like 'I'm not available after 8 pm.'
3. Say it calmly and don't over-explain.

Make it easier

Practise the sentence aloud first.

Make it harder

Hold your boundary when asked again.
