As a wise orange kitty 🐾, I’ve learned that boundaries are not just for humans—they’re for us too! I used to put up with things just to keep people around, but now I realize—those aren’t people. Setting boundaries is a sign of self-respect, not selfishness. It’s a life-changer. 🧡

So, how do we set these magical boundaries? Here are some steps that’ll get you started today:

Know Your Limits: What makes you uncomfortable? What drains you? Recognize these and know when to say “No.

”

Communicate Clearly: Let people know what you need in a calm but firm way. It’s okay to be direct!

Stick to Your Guns: Once you’ve set a boundary, don’t back down. It’s your peace at stake.

Prioritize Yourself: Take care of your own mental health first—other people’s issues don’t have to be yours.

The power of boundaries is life-changing, trust me! 💪 And if you’re serious about leveling up in this area, I highly recommend
