unimposed
Freely chosen, unrequired
Unimposed describes something not forced or placed upon someone from outside—constraints, rules, or expectations that haven't been applied: an unimposed deadline, unimposed restrictions.
The word often implies freedom or autonomy, suggesting conditions that arise naturally rather than through external authority: She worked at her own unimposed pace.
