EXCERPT:
“There is an incredible power to be found in saying “no” — and it is one that Thomas says will help to keep you sane. Many people are guilty of over-committing themselves, and they end up feeling stretched in so many directions, they become exhausted. Boundaries are important and healthy for your mental stamina and mood. If you do not want to spend hours on Zoom calls with family or friends, it is fine. “It is imperative that you don’t feel guilty or bad for exercising your right to protect your emotional and physical health by recognizing and expressing your limits,” Thomas adds. Learn how to delegate when you are feeling overwhelmed with chores, give yourself a break from social media if it is not empowering you, and feel free to turn off your office Slack messages before dinner so you can create a work-life balance.”
