Welcome to Listen Up Younger Self! I'm your host, Heather Solomon, here to share some real talk about the roller coasters of marriage and relationships. In this episode, we dive deep into the power of words and their impact on our connections with loved ones.
Words can build you up or tear you down, and understanding the difference between a complaint and a criticism is crucial for a healthy relationship. Complaints focus on specific behaviors and aim for improvement, while criticisms attack a person's character and breed resentment.
We'll explore how constant criticism can erode self-esteem, reduce communication, and create emotional distance. I'll share personal anecdotes and practical tips to help you identify and transform your communication patterns.
Join me as we learn to balance our interactions with positive affirmations, use "I" statements, and focus on constructive communication. It's time to put your self-righteous ego to bed and choose happiness over being right. Your future self is counting on you!
Connect with me, I'd love any suggestions for future episodes.
