Learning how to say no without guilt is one of the most important mental health skills you can practice. Boundaries aren’t selfish—they are essential for reducing stress, preventing burnout, and protecting your peace.

In this video, The Montclair Therapist shares how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) reframes “saying no” as a form of mastery. Mastery isn’t only about what you accomplish—it’s also about what you choose not to do.

✅ Examples of healthy boundaries:
Saying “Not right now” to protect your energy
Muting the group chat to lower anxiety
Canceling plans to recharge from burnout
Turning on Do Not Disturb 📵 for digital detox
Choosing rest instead of overworking

✨ You don’t have to be available to everyone to be valuable. Boundaries are mental health hygiene.

🪞 Reflective Prompt: What boundary could you set today that protects your energy?
