Shownotes

You make assumptions. You want your partner to change. What if I told you the reason you do these things is romantic?

Today, we talk about two main elements I see that make it difficult to stay in your own business: Blending and judging.

  1. We talk about how the feeling of oneness you have with your sweetheart creates confusion and makes it hard to stay in your own business.
  2. We'll talk about why judging your sweetheart is a stumbling block for staying in your own business. 
  3. And I'll give you a habit for how to stop judging and unblend with your sweetheart.

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

Instead of saying “should” when talking to your partner, simply change the word to “would.”

Date Night Discussion

You blend because you are romantic partners. And when you blend, you make assumptions about your partner. Those assumptions are what gets toxic for your relationship.

The antidote to assumptions and expectations is instead to get curious. 

To spark your curiosity this week, I invite you to play Would You Rather?
