Set boundaries and limits, but don't do it in a reactive way, or from anger or frustration.

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of setting boundaries based on personal values rather than reactive emotions.

When we react and allow our interactions to be based on another person’s actions, we lose power over our lives. And, often, in doing this, we give power to the people who are the worst people to make decisions for us. You get to choose who you are in every interaction. So, set your boundaries — but set them from your aspirations and values, not your anger or frustrations. This is a huge key to being happy and self-actualized, and I want you to be happy!
