Boundary diary
A record of situations where you gave way, and of what led you to.
What it’s for
Boundaries don’t collapse all at once, but in small daily concessions you forget as you go. Writing them down makes them visible.
What you record
- What happened — in one sentence.
- What I wanted to say and what I said.
- What I was afraid would happen if I spoke up.
- The cost: how I felt three hours later.
How to read it
After two weeks, look at the third column. Fears repeat, and there are usually few of them — two or three. Those are the real addresses of the work.
