Write down one boundary you will set for yourself today
Por qué este hábito ayuda
Self-boundaries are the foundation of self-respect and prevent the resentment that comes from overcommitting or neglecting your own needs.
Setting clear boundaries teaches others how to treat you while creating essential space for your priorities, values, and well-being.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I was constantly saying yes to every request at work until I was working nights and weekends while my personal life suffered. When I started writing down one boundary each morning—'I will leave by 6 PM,' 'I won't take on others' emergencies'—everything changed. The first few times were uncomfortable, but soon colleagues respected my limits, and I discovered my work actually improved with proper rest. That simple act of writing boundaries gave me back my time and self-respect.
