We all know the frustration of hitting a barrier, a roadblock while traveling. It prevents progress. It usually means a stop in traffic that can extend for miles. In conversations, it's not uncommon for barriers to arise when opinions and worldviews clash. We are human, and because of it, we have an innate need to protect and affirm our beliefs and opinions. Many times this can result in defensive behaviors and uneasy situations. Today we explore communication barriers.

In today’s post, I am going to share the worst communication mistakes behind some of the biggest problems couples encounter. By learning to avoid them, you will save time and emotional negativity, your connection will increase, and you will have better intimacy too.

Many times we talk about our desire to change. As the last month of the year progresses, we start taking inventory and thinking about what we need to change in the new year. We go back and forth between wanting to change and dreading the idea of change. You know deep down there are some things you really need to change, but how do you get ready to change? How can you get to that transformation that will signal you have really changed? It's really a lot easier to focus on what your partner needs to change!

Today's blog focuses on how to get ready for change.

Do you smile or shudder when you think of the Christmas and New Year celebrations? Many people fear office, family, or friends gatherings because of past unpleasant experiences. It’s as if they prime their brain for “feel bad” vibes.

What if you tried something different this year? What if you decided to use your brain’s “feel good” power to add magic to the celebrations? Here’s a “brain recipe” for a Merry Christmas.

We are starting the last month of the year. As the year starts unwinding to its end, we tend to become more contemplative of our life and work. We take inventory. We weigh opportunities. We think about change. . . Unfortunately, after many years of doing the same, making new resolutions for the new year, and failing at them, many give up on change and on themselves. If you are like them, you think about change, but have come to HATE change. . . or your failure with change.

Every contact you have with your loved one is loaded with possibilities. Each one can build or break a relationship. People tend to underestimate how even a brief interaction can change how people think about themselves, their relationship, and their future. There are two simple words that are so powerful it amazes me they are not used more often. The two words are “Thank You.” I want to challenge you to use them more frequently, especially as we are getting close to the end of the year.

How much do you think a smile would cost? What value would you assign to a smile given to you? How would you calculate the residual effect of seeing a smile, or giving a smile? What if your life depended on smiling? How can smiling make your relationship happier?
