I found that a very powerful practice. In addition trying to 180 our big issue, I identified some other common interactions that cause friction in our relationship, and I really dig into why I acted the way I did. My IC was very helpful with this. And then I chose to deliberately act in a different way, to see if it changed the interaction as a whole.
Boy did it ever. I'm not talking big things, but it's amazing how improving key micro interactions can have a big impact on the relationship.
And I felt super jazzed about changing my response.
So, living life is great, but so is digging into your own issues and how they affect the relationship.
