Why it helps
Clear boundaries make relationships more honest and less draining. People usually respect them more than we fear.
How to do it
- Choose a situation that regularly leaves you tired.
- Write one sentence like 'I'm not available after 8 pm.'
- 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.
