List specific ways in which you would like to improve yourself, regarding your relationship tendencies. Under each item list the specific ways HOW you would like to go about doing this. Be specific.
Example:
GOAL 1: I want to be less judgmental and more open to the men I date
a) notice my own insecurities that make me feel the need to judge
b) try to be compassionate and understanding towards other people’s experiences
How do you think your relationship role models and your relationships with your parents have influenced your current relationship tendencies? What are the tendencies that you would like to improve? (Examples of common tendencies: guarded, judgmental, needy, never satisfied, avoidant, not deserving of love etc.)
Think of your relationship history, write down any relationships or potential situations you can think of (Who, when, what happened, how did it end up, etc.). Review this history and see if you notice any patterns or tendencies.
For the next 15 minutes write freely about your relationships with your parents/guardians from when you were growing up. Examples: What are some of your fondest memories? What are some of your most difficult memories? What are common feelings you had towards your parents? What did you feel from them? Did you feel loved, accepted? Could you share your thoughts and feelings with your parent (s)? Why or why not? What were things about yourself that you knew that you could not share with them? Why?
