Free Guide + 5-Minute Grounding Meditation to Calm Anxiety
In this episode of Relearn Relationships, I share the three practical tools I use to quiet my mind to fully engage with my partner. These techniques have transformed how I show up in my relationships, and they can do the same for you.
Key Takeaways
Overthinking and Listening:
Overthinking doesn’t mean you’re a bad listener, but it can pull you out of the present moment.
Childhood patterns often create overthinking habits—give yourself grace as you learn to break them.
The Power of Body Language:
Open body posture signals receptiveness to others and also to yourself (e.g., uncrossed arms, palms facing up in your lap).
Maintain gentle eye contact to stay focused and help your partner feel heard.
Regulating Breath:
Slow, deep breaths help ground you and calm an anxious or racing mind.
Avoid sighing, which can send the wrong signal to your partner.
Summarizing to Clarify:
Summarizing and sharing what your partner said to ensure understanding and reduce miscommunication.
This method keeps you engaged in the conversation while minimizing assumptions.
