Rebuilding resilience quite often starts with small acts of self-respect. Grand gestures are not needed to protect your peace and sanity. Sometimes, it’s the consistent and quiet use of limits that you can do that matters most.
Micro-boundaries are small things you choose to use every day. These small actions you use daily to guard your energy and focus. You should turn off notifications for a little while. Sometimes it is just a moment or two of stillness. You may need to walk in some fresh air for five minutes.
These simple actions speak volumes. How you care for yourself teaches others how to show up for you. So permit yourself to set these gentle limits. Start small. Every boundary is a quiet step toward balance.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
