Slow It Down


Listen Later

Every relationship is hard, whether with your spouse, kids, or friends. But we have a tendency to make our relationships harder than they actually are too. 

When emotions infiltrate your relationships, especially in heated conversations and arguments, it leads to compromises, hardships, and even resentment. 

The solution? 

Slowing things down to an Eeyore trot. For example, when you have an argument with your wife, you can use email to communicate about it (without sacrificing living life in the moment). 

Jasmine and I recently did this after I wanted to experiment with THC gummies in Colorado and she felt a certain way about it. But through email, we came to a solution that worked for both of us and stifled resentment which would’ve bubbled if we didn't. 

In this episode, I reveal how to slow things down, how to realize most problems aren’t an emergency, and why doing this will make your relationship more loving and prosperous. 

Listen now.
