Cultivating relationships and actions to affect change.

Action Steps:

Create a map of your life from childhood to adulthood and identify key moments at each stage. What did you notice about yourself in your map? What were traits that were present in the beginning? If there are changes in your identity from the beginning, what are they?

Make a list of all of your relationships that you are in currently, and those relationships that you are serving others in. Examine your list of relationships to notice any patterns in who supports you, and how you support others. Journal your thoughts, and determine how to cultivate those healthy relationships.
