341: The Flourishing Experiment’s Summer Reading Series, Pt. 5
Research has shown that the quality of your relationships is the number-one contributor to longevity—wow! Continuing our summer reading series, this week we’ll hear about books on relationships—most importantly, your relationship with yourself. We’ll discuss mindset, being aware of our thoughts and their impact, practicing self-compassion, and more.
At the end of the episode, I share a behind-the-scenes look at past interviews with the authors—so be sure to listen ‘til the end!
Highlights of this episode include:
Choosing a positive mindset
Being aware of your thoughts and the lasting impact they have
Understanding when you’re projecting
Practicing gratitude, self-compassion, and honesty
Viewing relationships as the time you put into them, similar to building strength
Being deliberate with your words to your yourself and others
