I'm forever working on my boundaries because bad habits die hard. But I've worked a lot on getting on top of it and still implementing my "Just say no" weekends as recommended by you. Anyways another great read Bek.
oh I read this before and never replied - I am so great the no weekends are still helping. We all deserve freedom from obligation. And also to be a little different on occasion!
Very wise advice. I’ve been providing small business, self employed assistance for more than 20 years. I had to learn the same lesson you describe. Boundaries are essential but not just for the sake of the sanity of the person giving assistance. It’s essential for the receiver of assistance because it gives them a disciplined framework to receive the assistance. If they cannot accept the framework then they are not ready for the assistance
