Your brain is constantly filtering what you notice - and that filter might be sabotaging your relationship. Julie and David Bulitt explore the Reticular Activating System (RAS), a neuroscience concept that explains why you might only see the negative in your partner when you're disconnected, how it blinds you to red flags when you're newly in love, and most importantly, how to retrain your brain to notice the positive. They discuss the 5:1 ratio, the danger of affairs and disconnection, and practical tools like gratitude journaling and assuming good intentions to shift your RAS into positive territory. If you've ever wondered why your perception of your partner can change so dramatically, this episode has the answers.
