Summary

John believes that to live fulfilling and happy lives we must cultivate the best relationships possible. In this episode, he will explain some of the best ways to achieve this, whatever type of relationship it is including partners, family members, friends, colleagues or acquaintances. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be present and intentional. The modern pace of life can hinder spending time with others and distract you if you do.  Do not interrupt, and clarify what you hear. This requires empathy which is another component in building connections.  Communicate openly and clearly. This is the foundation for a successful relationship. This can bridge any gaps in wants and needs in the future. Validating and empowering each other through being generous in response can be essential in making each other happy. Celebrate your successes. Joint achievements and celebrating your partners successes will increase the bond between you.  Learn how to self-soothe. If you can manage your own wellbeing you can then be more present with others.   BEST MOMENTS ‘As human beings we have developed as a species to need, crave, in early life to survive through connecting with others.’   ‘Make a conscious effort to be present and focused on your interactions. Put away your phone and anything else that could distract you.’ ‘If you are putting yourself into a perceived vulnerable space then you don’t feel safe and rather than being able to be present your mind will be racing off into another space entirely.’ ‘One word that I don’t really like when it comes to finding a healthy balance in relationships is ‘compromise’. On the whole this is seen as a word that means you are giving something up and in your brain this can trigger all sorts of resistance.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Link to another podcast episode: New Year, New Relationship?
