"Well, I'm here aren't I?"
I hear this often between couples. As if that's all it takes. Every day, day in and day out, just being present and waking up and going to work is enough to make that intimate relationship thrive right? No. Not at all. This podcast highlights a few ways to put effort in. Daily with intention and consistency. Create the bond and the connection and decrease.....the shit.
Organizing our life and relationship and house and stuff is so very overwhelming to most of us (me included)! To Lauren Pearl it is something she finds relaxing....like a coping mechanism.
She turned her coping mechanism into a business and has used her calming organization as a way to help people find structure in minimizing, clearing out, packing away, and decluttering!
She explains the "needs" and attachments that people have with their things.
The difference between men and women regarding clutter and the emotions around why!
This was such an amazing conversation.
I hope you enjoy, and maybe it sparks a want to declutter in your relationships and home!

Happy New Year to you all!

Dr. John Gottman dedicated his life and career to learning how relationships succeeded and what caused them to fail.
His studies beginning in 1983, involved couples and the "love lab". Where the Four Horsemen were created and defined.
Criticism, Defensiveness, Contempt, and Stonewalling are a pretty sure fire way to end a marriage in divorce.
This episode discusses each one and the antidote to stop and prevent them from showing up in conflict and daily life. Putting your marriage in the masters category and out of the disasters category.
The New Years Resolution seems to be out dated and its not wonder why! It does not seem to be successful more most of us.

Go on, grab a pen and paper and think of the word that fits best with your life this year! What does the word mean to you? How can it help you in one or more areas of your life?

There are actually languages that can help us have amazing relationships! Imagine, going to a different country and not learning their language? Would you expect it to be easy? To have no communication issues or mistakes to arise? NO! You know it would be insanely hard to live in a place or travel to a place where you could not communicate! Its the same for every relationship! If we learn our love language we can express that to those around us and if we learn the love languages of others around us we love and want to have thriving relationships with....we will THRIVE!!

So many times I hear couples communicating in the "I" and "You" vs communicating with the "We" and the "Us". The shift in understanding the difference is amazing. Then applying the We and Us will bring the relationship to a level of understanding and forward movement. Focusing on ourselves as individuals and trying to say we are a couple or a partnership doesn't really work all that well. There are many moments of disconnect when we lose sight of the Us.

Some of us barely talk! And some of us struggle with where to begin.
I came up with some questions to really start the conversation and open up the lines of receiving and giving communication.
Some of the questions help to get to know each other better. To explore areas that may have not been explored before.
Others questions are designed to help converse around the topic of the relationship itself. To dive in about areas that are great and areas that the each of you feel is in need of some attention.
This exercise helps to understand each other better, increase listening skills, and increase communication in every romantic relationship.
