Ep 161: Thinking Yourself Into Better Relationships

Relationships are not actually about other people.
They are about the thoughts we think about other people.

And that is incredible news.

Because it means that even when another person doesn’t change, even when circumstances don’t shift, even when history is complicated… you still have agency. You can change the entire emotional climate of a relationship by changing the way you think, feel, and show up inside of it.

In this episode, we explore why it only takes one person in a relationship shifting their inner world to transform the dynamic between two people. And we walk through exactly how that works at the level of thoughts, emotions, nervous system, behavior, and connection.

You’ll learn why:

• Thoughts create our body language, tone, and the emotional safety or distance in our relationships
• How all of that becomes contagious in relationship
• We break down how negative thought loops become self-fulfilling prophecies
• How those thoughts quietly shape our body language and the other person’s subconscious response to us
• How thoughts gather more evidence that looks like them. 
• How people who believe they are liked tend to be more likable
• Couples who believe their relationship is special tend to create relationships that actually are
• Take responsibility for your side of the street
• Practical tools for cleaning up our side of the street in relationships, so that we have have more love, connection and joy

Relationships are everything, and you have far more power in them than you were ever taught.
