Hi All,
I am so excited...MONDAY we start the RELATIONSHIP DEEPER CONNECTION SERIES. It will all be inside the classroom.
Also we had a few new people over the last couple weeks so please jump in a new post and introduce yourself.
Here is today's Fabulous Friday Post.
One of the most powerful shifts any relationship can make is this:
Stop asking
“Why are they like this?”
Start asking
“What might they be going through?”
Perspective changes everything.
When we’re stressed, overwhelmed, or exhausted, our nervous system goes into protection mode.
Tone changes.
Patience drops.
Communication gets shorter.
Your partner, family and friends are not immune to this either.
Sometimes what looks like distance…
is actually stress.
Sometimes what feels like disconnection…
is simply exhaustion.
The goal in relationships isn’t perfection.
It’s returning to connection faster. Understanding vs assuming or judging.
Strong couples & other relationships aren’t the ones who never disconnect.
They’re the ones who repair quickly.
Micro-momentum:
The next time tension shows up in your relationship, pause and ask yourself:
“What might be going on for them right now?”
Even ask yourself this question "What might be going on inside me". Is my body tight, am I stressed right now...."How can I shift first before engaging with anyone?"
Then respond with curiosity instead of reaction.
Connection often returns the moment someone feels understood.
What helps you reconnect with someone (anyone) after tension?
