Sit by your bed, breathe slowly and name one boundary you want to keep or change.
Place a small object (stone or ribbon) against the bedpost as a tangible marker.
Anoint the object or a corner of the post with a drop of calming oil (lavender or cedar).
Say a short intention aloud, then sleep holding the feeling of that boundary.

“I rest within safe limits and wake ready to tend what matters.”
