I was watching a documentary recently and they were talking about plant medicines and how they are going through a bit of a resurgence as further research and development has been published around the positive benefits to help heal and support people in a number of ways. There was one point that was made around the importance of dose, setting and mindset when working with plant medicines to ensure a positive experience.

That got me thinking about how this idea of dose, setting and mindset could be applied in other areas of our life to achieve positive outcomes. In the case of communication, let's say you're upset with your partner or friend. You want to talk to them about it but you come in way too strong. You're angry, frustrated and the way you've approached the conversation is negatively impacted. They might become defensive, unwilling to talk to you and you get nowhere. If you dial down the "dose" of the anger and frustration and approach it with a more gentle lens, you're going to achieve a better result. You're going to be able to communicate more openly.

The same thing goes for setting and mindset as I go into in this episode today.

I invite you to really think about the conversations you're having right now and how you approach them. If you use this simple tool to ensure that you're always thinking about your dose, setting and mindset the outcome will always be more productive.
