January is when people start saying, “Set boundaries!”
And yes-boundaries are important. But for many of us, the word “boundary” feels like:
conflict
distance
drama
being misunderstood
having to explain ourselves
That’s why I prefer limits.
Limits feel like:
capacity
honesty
self-respect
protection
maintenance
A limit is simply:
“This is what I can do without losing myself”
Limits are not restrictions-they’re the way you keep your crown from falling off
