S2 Episode 20 MARRIAGE Self Talk; What is Your Inner Voice Saying?

S2 Episode 20 MARRIAGE Self Talk; What is Your Inner Voice Saying?

Can you keep up with your inner voice? How often is it positive? How often is it negative? Is it toward yourself or whoever you are talking with? Gil and Brenda have a lively conversation… (maybe their inner voices are the ones that are speaking!) about this age-old challenge.
How often are we so caught up in listening to our inner voice, we totally miss the person right in front of us? We are all guilty of this at some level. And that will affect our relationships. Between neuro pathways in your brain, our ability to get sucked into the inner voice, and the lack of self-regulation…well that is a recipe for disaster!

Today’s conversation will bring you insight and awareness of what’s really going on, and how you can improve your self-talk.

Action steps:
1. Be aware of your inner voice. Slow Down. Ask yourself out loud, is this true of myself? Is this true of the other person? The key is to PAUSE
2. Take a risk. At that moment when you are aware of your inner voice, be vulnerable and share it with whoever you’re talking with. Let them know…
“Here’s what’s going on in my head. My emotions could run away with that. But although I am feeling this way, my judgment may be incorrect it’s not honoring to you. This is a step of being an advocate to you and our relationship, to listen and not stay in my head. But go to YOUR heart and hear your emotions, feelings, and perspective without judgment.”

S2 Episode 17 MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP Touch Points

 

What are the top 2 killers in marriage?

Drift and Apathy.

How you watch TV may directly impact this! Gil and Brenda share 12 ways (you can come up with more) how couples can have “touch point’s” in their relationship. It’s in the things that we do every day. We miss the opportunity to connect…which launches us right toward the killers in marriage. Believe it or not, even sharing a laugh can be a touch point…a connection. It’s in the sinews (the little touch points) that muscles (your marriage) gets stronger. We don’t need to make this more complicated!

It’s the little things that make a marriage and it’s the little things that destroy it.

ACTION STEPS: 1.Listen to this podcast together.

2. Which ideas did you resonate with?

3. What kind of touch points could you add?

4. Be intentional and do them!

S2 Episode 16 STEPFAMILY (all kids) Rocks in the Bucket

Gil and Brenda share a concept they have been sharing in their presentations for years. “Rocks in the Bucket” helps give your kids a voice. When done correctly, you empower your children to tell you the truth of how they are feeling. The system is built on you honoring them as they try to honor you with something hard to say. It’s a win/win.

We all carry around an invisible bucket; it represents our well being. Family members, friends, coworkers can all put rocks in our buckets….and we can put rocks in their buckets! This is an easy way to share this with someone when rocks start flying!

ACTION STEPS:

1. Find a metal bucket and 3 rocks.

2. Demonstrate (as we did) how this works.

3. Ask them what they think? Talk about examples where they have felt rocks in their bucket.
