I can think of so many boundaries people have set with me. I have not ended the relationship because they ask me, hey, can you give me a quick call before you stop by? Hey, actually, I don't want to go anymore. I haven't, oh, this person is not my friend anymore because they no longer wanted to go to lunch anymore. I just said, okay. You know, I had an outfit picked out.

Those are the boundaries where, and I mentioned one earlier, I will leave work at 5 o'clock. I've had enough to drink. I need to not answer my phone when I am not in the spirit or available to speak to this person. I need to go to bed at 10 o'clock so I can get up early in the morning refreshed. It's all of those things that have to do with what we can control about our behavior.

There are so often times where we put things on other people. Like this person is always calling me. They can call your phone all day. You have the ability to not answer. You can block them. You can tell them you don't like it. You have a lot of power in this situation. You may not be able to stop them from calling, but I know I have a cell phone.

I would say one of my favorite boundaries is using the do not disturb on my phone. I constantly think about the 90s and how when you left home, that was it. It was like, where are they? Yes, the good old days. Yes. We're so reachable. When my phone rings, sometimes I get so annoyed. You would think that someone is like poking me when my phone rings.

And I have found that the best thing for me to do is to just not have the sound. And when I want to return the call, I return the call. If I want to answer, I answer it. I'm trying to remember, turn your phone on when your husband leaves the house. Because he's like, you're unreachable. And you're like, correct. Correct. That is the point. So I'm trying to remember that.
