Here’s what works better 👇🏼
If your boundaries keep getting tested,
It’s usually not because they’re unreasonable.
It’s because they’re explained instead of stated ✨
Here’s a simpler way to set one that actually sticks.
3 simple steps to a firm boundary:
1️⃣ Say the limit clearly
↳ Lead with what you’re doing or not doing. No build-up.
2️⃣ Skip the explanation
↳ The more you explain, the more it sounds negotiable.
3️⃣ Repeat it calmly if needed
↳ Steady beats persuade every time.
Most boundary issues aren’t about confidence or courage.
They’re about using fewer words and trusting yourself ✨
Where do you notice yourself over-explaining most?
