“What’s one boundary you’ve set (or are learning to set) at work to protect your mental health?”
(From log-off times to saying no — what’s helping you preserve your peace?)
Truth is, it’s not always the big deadlines or endless meetings that burn us out.
Sometimes, it’s the quiet, everyday pressures we carry without even noticing:
Yung ang dami mong iniisip, pero kailangan magpanggap na “on top of things” ka pa rin
Yung feeling na kailangan laging available at responsive
Yung kailangan magmukhang energetic kahit drained ka na
These are the silent stressors —
the ones that weigh heavy, even when we smile through them.
Setting boundaries doesn’t make you less dedicated.
It makes you human.
So let’s name them. Let’s talk about them.
Because the more we speak up, the less power these invisible pressures have.
What’s your silent energy vampire — and what boundary are you learning to set?
