In an intimate conversation, communicating feelings and asking open-ended questions can help couples sense and explore one another's thoughts, feelings, and nee...ds. But don't stop there, communicate empathy. Empathy is shown when you communicate that you understand your partner's experience. That does not mean that you necessarily agree with them. By first naming the feeling they've shared with you and then validating those feelings, you can communicate that, given your partner’s perceptions, their experience is valid. In the context of a healthy relationship, both of your perceptions are valid regardless of your memory or interpretation of events. Learn about Drs. John and Julie Gottman's 3 skills and 1 rule for intimate conversation: https://bit.ly/3pwXcvn

My morning coffee before the world wakes up is like magic to me. How do you start your day? Any rituals we should know about to bring a little pep to our steps?

Having a daily focus of looking for places to treat yourself with compassion can help create moments of comfort and relief that are healthy and enriching. When you find your thoughts moving toward self-criticism, use them as a signal to remind yourself that here is a place that calls for self-care and self-compassion.
