Repair, Recommit and Reinvent: A Better Way to Deal With a Misunderstanding

In our relationships with others, there are going to be wrinkles, miscommunications and misunderstandings. Depending on how they are dealt with, they can make bonds stronger or break them down completely.   A small dropped stitch of disconnection doesn't have to disintegrate the entire fabric of a friendship. There is a way to express how we feel without completely breaking down the flow of connection and irreparably rupturing the relationship.   In fact, we can use these challenging moments to bring things to the surface, clarify our communication and ultimately move through the messiness together.   The challenge is: a lot of people tend to completely call off the game when there's a miscommunication, but it's so much better to commit to keep the game going!   How do we turn the wrinkles of communication into an invitation to increase the flow of connection? How do we learn to stop calling off the game? In this episode, we talk about a recent interruption, and what we can learn from it to make our relationships more alive.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -A vibratory difference When we're moving into an expansive season and making a big leap, not everyone is going to come along.
