May 16, 2022

In this episode, we are going to have a conversation about investing in relationships. We're going to learn Six things that actually make it difficult for us to bid. We will also talk about how to build better connections with the significant people in our lives. We will discuss how to build better connections in our friendships, our marriages, dating relationships, and our relationships with our children. We'll also talk about the concept of the emotional command systems and in addition to that, we'll define those seven systems.Last, but not least, we'll talk about how to evaluate our emotional command systems. So, this is basically the second building block of our strengthening relationships series. And this one is going to be how to start investing, how to start practicing awareness and to start investing. 

 

Investment is a noun, and it is described as the act of putting money, effort, time etc. into something to make a profit or get an advantage; or the money, effort, time, etc. used to do this. If you think about investing in time, investing in ourselves, investing in relationships- we are basically putting effort into something to achieve a result. And that is the second definition, which is the act of putting money or effort into something to make a profit or achieve a result. And the goal here is to achieve a result. And so, when we think about the result that we want in relationships, it's to communicate better in order to have better connections, to engage with each other from a place of understanding each other and loving each other. 

This series is based on John Gottman's work and a series of other books that I've been reading, but primarily John Gottman’s book, The Relationship Cure, a five-step guide to strengthening your marriage family and friendships.
