Today we talk about setting boundaries and taking back your power!
4 Signs of unhealthy boundaries:
- Telling too much of your business to others, especially new people
- Accepting anything you dont want such as food, gifts, or even sex
- Allowing others to control your life
- Allowing others to take from you
Practice saying no without feeling guilty. You don't need to provide an excuse, no is a complete sentence.
