Chapters

One of the most important boundary lessons isn't necessarily just what you say no to, but it's what you're saying yes to on the other side. So imagine that you say no to an event or no to someone who's asking you if you want to go grab dinner, drinks, coffee. You might say no to that thing, but what you're saying yes to is, I don't want to feel overscheduled, so I'm saying yes to my peace. I'm saying yes to spending time doing what Whatever I need to feel like I can catch up on. So it's not just the no that we are using to say, no, I'm not able to do that, or no, that's not gonna work for me. It's what is the yes underneath it? And that's truly the benefit of boundaries. It's not just your no, it's your yes. It's the things that you're saying yes to matter just as much because that's what's behind the no. Yes to my peace, yes to my calm, yes to my ability to chill out.
