I use the concept “quiet quitting” to describe the intentional decision to create an internal boundary regarding what we are no longer willing to do, be, or what or to whom we’re no longer willing to grant access to, or determining the amount of space you need between you and another person in order to truly love and accept them and yourself at the same time.

“Quitting” is not giving up - it’s deciding that you’re no longer willing to invest your limited time, energy, and resources into an activity or relationship.

“Quiet quitting” is not a reaction to an uncomfortable emotion like anger, fear, or sadness - it is an intentional response given our current needs and circumstances.
