The Danger of Too Much Nit-Picking and Questioning + 2 Ways to Shift to More Acceptance: Episode 195


Listen Later

Be honest: have you and/or your partner been nit-picking, critiquing or questioning each other more lately? Being real, we have noticed this in our own relationship over the last couple of weeks and it’s something we’re bringing awareness to shifting between us. 

We noticed that these additional (and mostly unnecessary) remarks to each other were leaving us feeling unaccepted by each other. Not only that, but also a bit depleted and more on edge around each other at home. Maybe you’ve felt this too?

In this episode we cover:

  • The bigger “danger” of the build up of nit-picking and questioning each other
  • 2 critical mindset shifts to make within yourself so you’re not doing this to your partner too much
  • 3 simple, but powerful questions to ask yourself in the moment before you make the remark

 

Resources For Your Relationship:

  1. Order our book, The Argument Hangover, and get over $200 of free bonus gifts (like the mini course and a 90 minute training)
  2. We talked about knowing what is important in the moment, and our communication audio course has the best skill for you to determine the real level of importance. Check out the Communication Course for yourself!
