Assert Yourself For You, Not For Approval Or Control

By Max Jancar | Published: October 7, 2024 | 2 Minute Read

As part of my newsletter, The Breakthrough Letter, every week I send out a short email with one idea, one suggestion, and one resource to help you break through your breakup and create a new possibility for love, either with your ex or someone new.

Here’s this week’s edition. Enjoy.


Today’s Idea:

Healthy boundaries aren’t about gaining approval or trying to control how others respond to you. They’re about showing up authentically, taking responsibility for your own well-being, and asserting who you truly are.

When you create a boundary, it should always come from self-respect and self-care, and it should reflect your values, needs, and feelings.

Today’s Suggestion:

Take a moment to reflect on your boundaries. Identify one situation where you’ve hesitated to set a boundary or where you’ve done so to seek approval or avoid conflict.

Now, redefine that boundary with your needs and well-being in mind. Focus on expressing it clearly and confidently without expecting the other person to agree or validate your feelings. Communicate it for you, not for them.

Today’s Resource:

How To Rebuild (Or Build) Self-Esteem After A Breakup — a guide on practical, therapy-approved strategies for rebuilding self-esteem after a breakup. Because it’s strong self-esteem that allows you to assert sturdy boundaries with confidence, ensuring your well-being comes first and stays at an all-time high.


As always, feel free to reply to this email and let me know what you think. While I can’t respond to everyone, I do read everything.

Until next time,

Max Jancar
