One of the hardest lessons I learned the hard way was about the importance of setting boundaries. I used to go out of my way to please others, often at the expense of my own needs and well-being. It took a series of overwhelming situations where I neglected my own priorities and felt burnt out before I realized that saying “no” is not only okay, but necessary. Establishing boundaries has helped me foster healthier relationships and prioritize my own mental health, even when it feels uncomfortable at first. It’s a lesson I continue to work on, but it’s been transformative in how I navigate my personal and professional life. How about you? What lesson have you found challenging?
