Mastering the art of saying no is a lifetime commitment to self-care, as well as a respected talent. As you apply your increased independence to your daily life, consider the following tactics for maintaining your boundaries:

Be Mindful of Your Time: Assess your time management habits regularly. Consider whether each commitment is consistent with your aims and values. If it isn't, try saying no.
