@chyni yes girll

Yeah!

@chyni thank you so much for this post! I really needed this today

@chyni

Thank you for reminding me about these tips! they're really helpful!

@chyni

• say no.
• prioritize your needs.
• disagree with people. 
• be honest. 
• challenge poor behavior.
• walk away from toxic environments.
• make mistakes.
• stand up for yourself. 
• protect your time and peace.

Thanks, I feel we all need this little reminder. I find it hard to disagree or say no, but to challenge poor behavior or step in when someone is being nasty I tend to do that all the time. I still feel I am a kind person.

@chyni

YES! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Being kind doesn't mean compromising your well-being or ignoring your boundaries.

It's entirely possible—and necessary—to maintain kindness while asserting their own needs and boundaries.

Saying no, prioritizing your well-being, and standing up for yourself is self-respect and self-care, which are crucial for maintaining mental and emotional health.

It's important to remember that setting boundaries and protecting your peace doesn't make you any less kind; it simply means you're also practicing kindness towards yourself.

This balance is critical to nurturing healthy, respectful relationships with others and yourself.

@chyni Very true, and its important to remember that other people are the same and can disagree with you or prioritize themselves and not be doing it to harm you.

Grace is needed on both ends here.
