Just a little reminder: “No” is a complete sentence.
You don’t have to explain yourself every time you set a boundary. Especially when you’re protecting your:
mental health
time
peace
energy
emotional space
It’s so easy to feel like we owe people an explanation when we take a step back or choose something different but the truth is, you really don’t.
You’re allowed to honor how you feel without having to justify it.
You’re allowed to say “no” without feeling guilty.
You’re allowed to take space without needing to explain why.
And if you’re not ready to talk? That’s okay too. You’re not shutting people out, you’re taking care of yourself. And that’s something to be proud of. Have a great week.
