Write down the emotions that come up for you when you think about the relationship that’s been hardest to navigate. Is it grief? Anger? Guilt? Naming them helps you move through them.

Reflective Question:
Am I consistently smaller, quieter, or less myself in this relationship?

Write about what peace looks like for you in your relationships. What does it feel like? Who in your life already gives you that feeling?

Final Reflection:
Take a moment to ask yourself: Where in my relationships do I feel peace, and where do I feel constant tension? That answer may guide your next step.
