One piece of advice that took me a while to truly grasp was “it’s okay to say no.” For a long time, I felt the pressure to please everyone around me, whether it was taking on extra responsibilities at work or trying to accommodate every social invitation. It took me time to realize that setting boundaries is crucial for my well-being. Saying no isn’t a rejection of others; it’s a way to prioritize my own needs and maintain balance in my life. Once I understood this, I found myself less stressed and more focused on what truly matters to me. What about you? Have you had any similar realizations?
