The good wolves get bigger when we take in the good and we turn positive states into positive traits by resting in them for a breath or longer.
What makes a relationship truly great? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Dr. Rick Hanson, a psychologist renowned for his work on positive neuroplasticity. Dr. Hanson shares practical advice on how to enhance our relationships by focusing on the good in ourselves and others. He dives into the brain's tendency to fixate on negativity and offers strategies to shift this bias towards positivity.
By savoring positive experiences, we can transform them into lasting traits that enrich our lives and relationships. Dr. Hanson also tackles the tricky subject of conflict. He suggests a thoughtful approach: choosing between harmony and truth, and recognizing that always opting for one might leave us with neither. He emphasizes the power of admitting fault, framing it as a strength rather than a weakness.
His insights on 'wise speech'—how we say things being just as important as what we say—are particularly eye-opening. Another key takeaway is the importance of clarity in what we want from our relationships. Dr. Hanson advises making small, meaningful agreements to improve emotional connections, like spending a few quality minutes together daily. This practice can foster empathy and strengthen bonds over time. For anyone looking to deepen their relationships, this episode is packed with actionable tips and profound reflections.
Tune in to learn how recognizing the good, handling conflicts gracefully, and nurturing emotional ties can lead to more fulfilling connections.
