A little reading to begin with
A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONEDescribe the action before judging it. “I accept every extra request” gives you something to examine. “I am hopeless at boundaries” adds a verdict before you know what the action is doing for you.
Ask what you receive during the routine. It might be money, company, relief, a sense of usefulness or time away from a difficult feeling. Do not erase the benefit because you now see a cost. You need to understand the need before designing an alternative.
Then look at what follows. The same routine may leave less sleep, less money, an unfinished task or resentment. A cost does not automatically mean you must stop. Necessary work may have a cost you cannot currently avoid. You can still name it and identify what support would make a change possible.
Check the direction at several distances: tonight, a month from now and over a longer period. You are not predicting a fixed future. You are noticing what repetition tends to make easier or harder. The routine may still be the best available option for now, or one part may be ready to change. A fair picture lets both benefits and costs remain visible.
