Healthy boundary or a chosen badge of identity — a small promise you make to yourself about how you will be treated.

Sit quietly and place one hand over your wrist; breathe slowly for six breaths.

If safe, write that boundary on a small card and fold it into your pocket as a talisman.
Affirmation
“I choose where I begin and end; my limits are worthy of respect.”
