# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Boundary Map: List every area of your life where you currently feel resentment, obligation without choice, or chronic depletion. These are your boundary-deficit zones.
- Step 2: Root Cause: For your highest-resentment area, ask: Why do I not currently have a boundary here? What am I afraid will happen if I set one? What belief says I am not allowed to?
- Step 3: Script Writing: Write a clear, kind boundary statement for this area. Include: the limit, the reason (optional — you do not owe one), and the consequence if it is crossed.
- Step 4: First Conversation: Identify the one person with whom setting this boundary would have the most positive impact on your wellbeing. Schedule the conversation for this week. After it, journal on what it cost you and what it gave you. 📌

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When resentment and depletion tell you that boundaries are needed but fear keeps you from setting them. ✅

PRO TIP

The consequence in Step 3 is the hardest part — a boundary without a consequence is a request. You do not have to enforce it aggressively, but you must be willing to.
