What's on your mind about friendship? We're looking at being a good friend to ourselves as well as to other people. Usually that starts with being a good friend to ourselves in order to be aware of what's going on. Am I giving away my power, helping to be protected and taken care of?

If you're looking at a friendship in particular, you might be looking at a specific person. I want this relationship to be different from what it is in these ways. And we looked a little bit into how we would like the other person maybe to focus on us more, or maybe we see that we're in this relationship where we're not really equal. There's one person is discharging a lot and the other person is listening. There's a lot of different dynamics.

We could also look at this on an overall basis. What do I need to see more clearly about my friendships? Oftentimes there are patterns. Am I being an adult in this friendship? Are my expectations healthy? Am I looking to be rescued by somebody? That's not really something that's going to happen without cost in an adult relationship.

Take a few minutes to do an inquiry. Notice what it feels like in your body. Maybe there is a relationship that's run its course and you're feeling sad.

Start with the body and then notice what are the thoughts that are coming in.
