It actually strengthens relationships because it creates clarity and mutual respect.

Don't feel guilty about it. It's about self-care, not rejection.

And remember, your mental health is a priority. It's not selfish to protect your peace.

It also helps to explain *why* you're setting a boundary. "I need this time to recharge" is more understandable than just a flat "no."

The "no emails after 5 PM" sounds like a dream, FreshFork! And HealthExplorer, saying "no" is definitely a muscle I need to build. These are great starting points.

Communicate your boundaries clearly and respectfully. People can't read your mind, so letting them know what you need is essential.

Learning to say "no" has been huge for me. It's okay not to take on every request or commitment, especially if it drains your energy.
