Avoid these common boundary blunders...
Some amazing benefits of setting healthy boundaries:
• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Boosting confidence
• Attracting the right people
There are so many more.
But it’s hard to truly believe them when you don’t yet have them, because it feels like setting boundaries actually starts to make things worse.
Yup. It kinda does.
At least in some ways.
Like when you start working out, it feels miserable. You ache. You’re tired. It seems like you have no time to get it all done.
But when you stick with it, and it becomes a part of your life, it fits itself in. It feels GOOD to work out. You have MORE energy. And you’re able to get more done in your days.
Here are a few boundary blunders that you’re likely to make before boundaries are a solid part of your life.
Apologies in Advance: You preface every request with an apology, diminishing your needs and making them sound optional. (Take No Sh*t teaches you to confidently express your needs without the "sorry" crutch!)

The Guilt Trip: You try to manipulate or guilt-trip people into respecting your boundaries, leading to resentment and resistance. (Take No Sh*t equips you with assertive communication techniques to get your point across effectively.)
