Step 7: Make the Name List Without Guilt Before you continue, remember there is only one rule: No Guilt. Any time you remove yourself from someone’s life, they learn a lesson, too. Imagine that you are always leaving people better than when you met them and that you are leaving to allow them to complete their journey and grow as well. Remember, this is YOUR life, and you decide how good your story is going to be. Write Down Every Name: Start by listing every person you communicate with. Begin with memory, then go through your text history, social media contacts, and any other communication channels. Get clear on how many people have an open invitation to your energy. Ask the Questions: For each name on your list, ask yourself the following questions. Go name by name, allowing each one to pass through the filter of these questions: Does this person speak positively or gravitate toward the negative? Who is helping? Who is hindering? Who leaves me filled with joy? Who inspires me to live bigger? Who leaves me with a smile? Who leaves me feeling drained? Do I want to be like this person? Who do I have room for? Do the values of my future self align with this person? Do I act like myself around this person? Do I feel alive or drained after spending time with this person? Do we speak of the future or do we speak of people when we are together? Who fuels me? Who drains me? Who irritates me? Who has habits that annoy me? (Remember, any trait you dislike in another person may reflect a similar trait in yourself.) Were these habits always in me, or did I develop them from being around this person? Whose support feels sincere? Who’s with me? Who’s for me? Who has contributed to my life? Who makes my life great? Who makes an effort to stay in my life? Who makes an effort even when I give no response?
