How Fear is Killing Your Chemistry
Manage episode 428397304 series 3406970
What if protecting your marriage is actually causing deeper relationship problems?
Your marriage is important to you. You want to ensure that what you’ve built with your partner will last. But fear for your marriage will do more harm than good to your relationship.
In this episode, we’ll talk about why protecting your relationship is killing your chemistry:
- We’ll examine why you (or maybe your partner) shoot down the idea for a fancy date night: hint the answer is romantic.
- You’ll learn the difference between wanting energy that fuels your desire for a more exciting future vs protective energy that keeps you safely housed in the life you have today.
- You’ll get a simple strategy to change your self-talk so you can wake up your desire without frightening that Inner Lizard that’s always trying to keep you safe.
Habit for Your Happily Ever After
Notice what you want to create vs. what you’re trying to protect.
One way to do this is to revive your want. Talk to yourself about things you have already.
Date Night Discussion
This week, talk to your partner about an Inner Lizard moment.
