That is your creative time. For me, I can't really do anything but watch TV past 8 o'clock.

I can't create anything. That doesn't work for me. But how do you embrace who you are? Because we live in a world where there's constantly... This idea of you need to be this or you need to be that. Why aren't you doing more baking? Why aren't you doing more traveling? And it's okay to not like the travel. That's right. It's okay to love a bagged salad over cooking an elaborate meal. Mm-hmm.

This is the really tough part because we do know what to say in many cases. We do know how to kind of figure out what we need. I do think the challenge is controlling how the other person responds. And we are trying to figure out the nicest way to say no. The nicest way to say no. I actually don't want to come home for Thanksgiving. The nicest way to say all of these really hard things.

And I don't think it's our job to manage how people feel about our boundaries. That is really hard to get to a space where you stop the management because it's so much work just to create the boundary, just to speak it. And we can't figure out how a person will respond or what they will do. And unfortunately, there are people who get really upset with your boundaries.

They may give you the silent treatment. They may even end the relationship. But I would say in most cases, people want to be in relationships with you. They might be upset for a little bit. It hurt their feelings. But they will move on with that boundary. And so the idea that we can protect people from that, it's really not possible in all cases. I think...

What we can do is be better at letting people have boundaries with us. That is the work that I try to do when, you know, my friends set boundaries with me. I try not to question it. I try to honor the boundary. I will even try to get other people to do it. At the top of COVID, I was on a girl's trip and I had a friend say, no one bring up COVID. And I said, hey, you're about to start.

She said, do not bring up COVID, right? So I think it's one of those things that we have a lot of power right now to honor other people's boundaries. And that lets them know it's OK to set boundaries with Nedra. She actually listens to your boundaries. Now, Nedra can set boundaries with me. There is this two-way street of you have a boundary, I have a boundary. Other people have boundaries.
