"Atreverse a establecer límites se trata de tener el valor de amarnos a nosotros mismos incluso cuando corremos el riesgo de decepcionar a los demás."
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Choosing to set limits means valuing ourselves enough to do what's best for us, even if it might upset other people. For example, imagine you have a friend who always wants your help, but you're feeling tired and need rest. Saying no to your friend can be hard because you don't want to hurt their feelings, but it's important to take care of yourself too. Just like how parents set rules because they care about their children's well-being, setting boundaries is about protecting your own happiness and health. When we set boundaries, we're showing ourselves love and respect. This doesn't mean we don't care about others, but we understand that we can't make everyone happy all the time. By saying no when necessary, we avoid burnout and stress, allowing us to be our best selves. Learning to set boundaries can help maintain a healthier, more balanced life and relationships.
