Is your partner competing with your phone?
Jane Linley-Thomas and Paul Bushell talk about kindness in our special relationships in today’s KindnessCan podcast – because over time, we can all start to take our special relationship for granted, including paying more attention to ouor smart phones!
Listen to episode 3 of the KindnessCan Podcast, then read more below the podcast:
All the little and big things that we do for each other can become lost in a feeling of routine - and amongst all, in the business of life.
We start to give the best of ourselves to our children, our friends, our colleges, our social media. It becomes easy to be unkind and uncaring. If our feelings and actions are a product of our thoughts, we need to go back to the drawing board and start connecting with thoughts about our partners and lives, which will allow us to feel kinder and be kinder.
READ OR LISTEN: Kindness with our kids
A really useful way of doing this is by connecting with the little and small things we are grateful for. Start by making a list of things that you really value in your partner. Then, make a list of things that your partner does for you that really matter and mean something. You might want to share these lists as a way of affirming and encouraging each other.
Affirmation: I am grateful for you.
