Proactivity is responding to situations according to the values and principles you hold, not just reacting according to the emotion that gets stirred. In relationships that kind of mindfulness allows us to use the 10% in ways that make a difference for the 90% that may not have been what we wanted. Watch or listen to this 4th of our 6 weeks on Relationships That Work to learn what can make that 10% powerful instead of powerless.

In our fast-paced world it can be hard to step back and get the perspective you need to choose what your heart really wants. This 3rd of our 6-part focus on Relationships That Work is worth pausing for in the busyness you feel caught up in!

'Shelter in place’ with its hardships, isolation, and forced togetherness is stressing all of our relationships...but coming back to the table and practicing what connects us can make them grow stronger instead of fall apart. We need each other all the time, but more than ever now.
