How to Bring Really Good Friends into Your Life in 7 steps or less

1. List all the qualities you are looking for in a friend.

As you write them down, begin each sentence with "I want”.

I want a loyal friend who stands up for me.

I want a friend who loves shopping or reading books just as much as me.

I want my friend to believe in the good in everyone.


If you’re having trouble coming up with detail, answer the following questions (Come up with 10-20 points):

What do I want in my friend(s) mentally?

What do I want in my friend(s) spiritually?

What do I want in my friend(s) physically?

What commonalities do I want to share with my friend(s)?

How do I want my friend(s) to treat me and how do I want to treat them?

What kind of trust, loyalty, love, understanding, and/or acceptance do I want to have between myself and my friend(s)?

What do I want to gain from this friendship?

What else?!


2. Now take these 10-20 points that you came up with and rewrite them into the present tense. Switching the “I want” to an “I have.”

I have a loyal friend who stands up for me And remember, this is your list so if you want to add a little more, do it! The more details, the better the outcome!

I have a loyal friend who stands up for me, I always feel safe with them and we always have lots of fun!


3. Now that you’ve rewritten your list as if the items have already happened, you can narrow down the list even more to 7-10 points.


4. Next write down your affirmation.

The act of affirming or the state of being affirmed; assertion.

Something declared to be true; a positive statement or judgment.

Your affirmation for this exercise should be something like “I have found my perfect best friend and it was fast and easy” You’re going to repeat this to yourself for the next 30 days, over and over out loud or in your mind. Repeat it more and more every day, make it a race! In those 30 days, or very shortly after, you’re going to find the friends you wanted! Try this out and see for yourself how many wonderful people you can meet!


5. Find pictures that represent friendship to you.

A group of friends hanging out, laughing.

A few or a group of people going out to dinner or a movie.

Concerts

Dancing

Anything! You decide what you want to do with your new and amazing friends.
