The expectations of others for you can easily feel overwhelming when you aren't well-versed in setting boundaries or speaking up for yourself. However, learning to say no and making your priorities clear are important for managing these expectations. This guide will help you understand how to set healthy boundaries with those in your life. "No" is a very powerful statement, and many people are afraid to use it for fear of offending someone. However, gaining the ability to say no to others is a huge step in setting healthy boundaries. Saying no to another person will look different depending on your relationship with that individual. Be prepared to negotiate whether you expect something from someone or the other way around.
