Boundary script worksheet

1. The recurring situation.

2. What you actually want (positive form, not just “less of X”).

3. The boundary, in one sentence.

Short. Calm. Repeatable. e.g. “I'm not going to discuss money on Sunday evenings.”

4. The alternative you're offering.

Boundaries land better when paired with a workable alternative.

5. What you'll do if it's not respected.

A consequence you're actually willing to follow through on — small and consistent beats large and theatrical.

6. When and how you'll share the boundary.
