The Power of No
Boundaries aren't walls - they're devotion.
Every yes you give from guilt?
Is a no to your peace.
Every yes you give from fear?
Is a no to your freedom.
Every yes you give to avoid disappointing others?
Is a no to your f*cking self.
Boundaries aren’t selfish.
They’re soul-preserving.
They say:
“I honour my capacity.”
“I trust my intuition.”
“I’m no longer available for anything that drains my joy.”
If it’s not a hell yes
it’s a sacred no.
No to the events that feel like obligation.
No to conversations that cost too much.
No to over-explaining.
No to abandoning your truth to keep the peace.
You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need to justify your no.
You only need to remember this:
Every time you say no to what isn’t yours
you make space for what is.
✨
OFH moment:
Protect your priorities like sacred ground.
Because they f*cking are.
Let’s all OFH
