A Real Look at Relationships Day One Questions for Contemplation

Today’s contemplation is: Who are your closest relationships? We’ll begin with Companions. These are the people you would call your best friends, the people you prefer to spend your day to day moments with. These are the people you want to be around. Who are the companions in your life?

Are these relationships healthy relationships? What makes them good Companions? Is there anything missing you wish was there? We’re not judging here or making any decisions. We’re just becoming aware.

As you move through the next 24 hours, allow yourself to be in contemplation of your Companionships. Make a detailed list of who they are and how you interact in the relationship. Make notes about what works for you and include details of things you wish could be different. Important note: as you consider the things you would change. Don’t focus on what you don’t like. Focus on how it would look if things could be different. Contemplate the possibilities of a relationship more suited to your organic eco-system.

As your final step for the day, define for yourself what healthy Companionships look like to you. What is the healthiest Companionship you can imagine? After you are complete, write keywords that encapsulate the idea of healthy Companionships for you and note them in your journal. This is the beginning of your eco-system.
