Last week Michael and Lauryn sat down with Jay Shetty on The HIM & HER Show.
If you have yet to meet Jay Shetty, he is a global bestselling author, award-winning podcast host of On Purpose, Chief Purpose Officer of Calm, and a purpose-driven entrepreneur who has made an incredible impact on hearts and minds worldwide.
Today, he joins us for a conversation about relationships and how to find somebody for the long-term. We also discuss how to nourish your current relationship, why some relationships don’t work out, and the lack of connections in couples & how to fix it.
JAY SHETTY PODCAST TAKEAWAYS:
Love’s Expectations vs. Reality: People expect love to be like a movie. They want everything about their partner to be perfect. The reality is that nobody’s perfect, and you aren’t going to find somebody that lives up to every one of your expectations.
Acknowledgment: People appreciate being acknowledged. Taking just a brief moment (30 seconds to two minutes) to express appreciation or recognition to someone can have a significant impact on their day and their perception of you.
Focus on Positives and Solutions: Negative thought patterns can lead to cycles of behavior that perpetuate fatigue or other negative emotions throughout the day. Breaking this cycle involves consciously redirecting thoughts towards more positive and productive avenues, rather than succumbing to habits like binge-watching on Netflix to escape.
