Start small. Small limits actually stick.
1) Emotional limit (choose one)
I will pause before reacting when I feel triggered.
I will stop explaining myself to people committed to misunderstanding me.
I will not abandon my needs to keep the peace.
2) Time limit (choose one)
I’m not available for last-minute requests unless it’s urgent.
I’m protecting one evening a week for reset time.
I’m scheduling rest like an appointment-because it is.
3) Relationship limit (choose one)
I will not tolerate disrespect disguised as “jokes.”
I will stop carrying conversations and connections alone.
I will choose people who feel safe-not just familiar.
Write your three limits down. Put them where you can see them.
January is about practicing-not perfecting
