The article discusses the vital importance of setting personal boundaries and distinguishing between obligation and responsibility. Many individuals, particularly women, feel compelled to help others, equating this with being a good person. The author shares their experience of burnout, marked by a health crisis that forced them to confront the toll of constantly saying yes. This acknowledgment leads to a deeper understanding that true self-care involves recognizing when to say no and prioritizing one's own well-being over others' expectations.
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
Obligation feels like it's inherently ours to do, regardless of choice. Responsibility feels like something we voluntarily take on.
You don't realize how much you've given-how much you've carried-until your body asks you to stop.
Ulcers, burnout, and other stress-related conditions don't come from what we eat. They come from what's eating away at us.
