Closeness Map
Arrange your relationships in circles: who nourishes me? who drains me? with whom do I need a boundary?
Our relationships affect our energy more than we admit, yet we rarely pause to see which nourish us and which drain us — so we keep giving where we’re not nourished and avoiding where we love. The closeness map arranges your relationships in circles, surfacing the pattern hidden in the day’s crowding: who restores your energy, who tires you, with whom you need a boundary, whom you’ve drifted from and miss. This view doesn’t judge people or label them “good or bad”; it describes your feeling in the relationship, not their worth in themselves. Worth your reflection: do you allocate your energy and closeness with an awareness that matches what you discovered, or do your old habits give the opposite of what you need?
