One of the hardest obstacles I've had to overcome in my life was not understanding how to draw healthy boundaries. I finally learned it's perfectly OK to say no.

Those who truly love and respect you will respect your boundaries. I think freeing oneself from codependency and fear is vital for well-being.

I stay healthy by dealing with things! Seriously, emotional and spiritual health is most important. I feel there is a lot of unhealthiness when we stuff our feelings out of fear rather than face them and deal with our issues.

I stay balanced by remembering to prioritize. What is most important should never be railroaded by the "tyranny of the urgent."

Understanding what you're OK with and what you're not OK with is so important to learn.

A good smell puts me in a great mood and even inspires my creativity.
