Question 1

Who in your life cheers most loudly for your endurance, your long hours, your perpetual availability? What would it cost that person if you became genuinely less available?

Question 2

Think of the last time you drew a limit, said no to something, or rested without apology. How was it received, and by whom? What does that reception tell you about the relational architecture around your limits?

Question 3

Is there a relationship in your life where your being depleted is a feature rather than a bug of the dynamic? You do not have to name the person here. Just notice whether the relationship exists.
