183 This episode is for everyone in an intimate relationship —especially if reactivity is ever an issue, or if you ever find yourself in sticky, difficult, or heated interactions with your spouse– or you just want to communicate and relate even better!
You will learn one of the most essential skills you can develop to make your relationship strong and loving: The Pause.
Being able to pause is immensely powerful when it comes to communication and navigating conflict is a graceful way– and even avoiding conflict and reactivity altogether. I would go so far as to say being able to Pause, in the way I describe in this episode, is a sacred skill.
It gives you the ability to respond skillfully, instead of reacting in a way that makes things worse.
But, as simple as the idea of pausing is, it is HARD to actually do. This episode will change that!
So listen in to hear:
- What the pause actually is,
- Why it’s so key to success in love
- Why it is so hard to do (without the key I will teach you)
- They 1 major key to being able to successfully do it
- And the practical and simple practice that will make you a pro at the Pause in a matter of weeks
Once you’ve tuned in and done as I suggest in this episode, you will be so much further ahead of most people in your ability to respond to your spouse, no matter the situation, in a way that invites peace, understanding, connection, and even collaboration, and you’ll be well positioned to preserve and deepen the integrity and strength of your relationship for the long haul.
