1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: You can still make someone feel anxious even if you 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: love them, if you don't know how your actions and 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: words impact them. If you are not aware of how 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: your actions and behavior and your words make someone feel, 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how much you love them, they can 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: still feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Unbelievable. 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: You have no idea what's coming your way, and I 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: can't tell you because I'm excited for you. Just keep 30 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: a lookout, make sure that you've subscribed to the podcast 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: on the app that you're listening on. Make sure that 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: turned notifications on my Instagram for j Y and JTI podcast. 33 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: I just don't want you to miss out. So today 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: this episode is a really special one as well, because 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: I really wanted to address our relationships. Now. We always 36 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: hear that our relationships are important. We know that, but 37 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: often it's really hard. How many times do you sit 38 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: at dinner with someone you love and you struggle to 39 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: have a meaningful conversation and you spend your time on 40 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: your phone, maybe in the car on the way back 41 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: in the evening, you wish you had more deeper connection. 42 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Or how many of you turn on a show because 43 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: it's it's an easier way to spend time together than 44 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: starting an actual discussion. How many of you don't know 45 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: what to talk about? How many of you run out 46 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: of topics, maybe you run out of conversation ideas, especially 47 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: if you've been together for a while now, whether you're 48 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: talking about a business relationship, a romantic relationship, a family relationship, 49 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: or a friendship, these seven questions I'm going to introduce 50 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: you today are going to make a huge difference in 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: your life. And the reason they make a difference is 52 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: because they all allow you to create vulnerability, create connection, 53 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: and create intimacy. Especially as relationships deeper. We're not always 54 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: going to learn something new about someone. We may feel 55 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: there's nothing left to learn, but you can always learn 56 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: something new about them, even if it's by going deeper. 57 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's no longer about going wider, it's about going deeper, 58 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and these questions allow that. So that's the intimacy part. 59 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: The second thing I said was vulnerability. We know that 60 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: relationships that have vulnerability actually bring people closer together. We 61 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: feel if we don't have arguments, if we avoid uncomfortable 62 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: conversations then will be closer. What you don't realize is 63 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: that avoiding a two our argument could create a two 64 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: week issue. A two our argument could save you from 65 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: two weeks of pain and issues. So these conversations may 66 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: be thought provoking and challenging and difficult in the beginning, 67 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: but they can actually help us. And the third thing 68 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned was connection. A lot of the times when 69 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: we talk, we talk about ourselves, and we don't talk 70 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: about ourselves in relation to the person we have a 71 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: relationship with. And so you're not often talking about your relationship. 72 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: You might be talking about your to do list, you 73 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: might be talking about your weekend plans, you might be 74 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: talking about your work plans, but you're not talking about 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: the relationship. And these seven questions are designed to help 76 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: you have healthier, more powerful, more productive conversations in your relationship. Now, 77 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to walk through these with you, So 78 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: make sure you have a notepad and pen, and if 79 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: you walking or driving or whatever it may be, remember 80 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: to share this episode with someone later. Take a screenshot 81 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: message it. I love all the posts on Instagram and 82 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook that I've been seeing going up the 83 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: TikTok Oh my gosh, those of you sharing with the 84 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: audio on TikTok, thank you so much so. The first 85 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: question I want to introduce to you, This question is 86 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: what am I doing right that I should do more of? 87 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: What is it that I'm doing that you notice and appreciate. 88 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: What is it that I'm doing that you actually think 89 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: is good and you'd love for me to do it 90 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: more because it works. Notice how you could ask this 91 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: to a romantic partner or a work partner, whoever it 92 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: may be. A friend. What this allows for you is 93 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: that it boosts your own self esteem. You recognize that 94 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: the person you're sitting with does recognize your hard work, 95 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: your effort. They do recognize the energy you're putting into it, 96 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: They do recognize the amount of input you have. And often, 97 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: if that person doesn't have a natural way of reminding 98 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: you of this, you forget, and in your head you 99 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: build the narrative that they don't care, they don't notice me, 100 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: they don't appreciate me, they avoid me. It's really fascinating 101 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: to me to see that that we build up stories 102 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: in our head without actually checking in with the other person. 103 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: When you say to the other person, what am I 104 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: doing right that I should do more of They get 105 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: to tell you well. I love the way you send 106 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: emails in an organized way. I love that you message 107 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: me you love me in the morning. I love that 108 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: whenever I need you you always pick up. And all 109 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you feel appreciated, You feel considered, you 110 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: feel heard, you feel seen. All of those things that 111 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: you didn't feel just a moment ago. You get a 112 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: chance to alleviate. You get a chance to recognize that 113 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: actually the person you think doesn't notice you notices you 114 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: more than you think they notice you. You with me, 115 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and what it does for the other person is really special. 116 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: It gives them an opportunity to compliment you or share 117 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: gratitude with you. Often, what I find is that because 118 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: we haven't been trained in gratitude, because we haven't been 119 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: accustomed to learn how to give genuine compliments, we struggle. 120 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: And so often someone that you're with or someone that 121 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: you're working with, may not even know that you need that, 122 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: They may not know how to do it, They may 123 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,119 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. I often have people I had a review 124 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: for the podcast the other day, thank you for everyone 125 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: leaving reviews. I read a review that just said jay 126 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to be excited, but I just love 127 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: this podcast that I was thinking. But that's not overly excited. 128 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. But people are scared of sharing compliments 129 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: and gratitude. Are you asking this question? What am I 130 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: doing right that I should do more of? Not only 131 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: do you get a chance to hear that this person 132 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: does care about you, they do notice you, you also 133 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: give them an opportunity to practice gratitude and complimenting, which 134 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: is healthy for their mental health and their well being. Now, 135 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: let's look at the awkward scenario where you ask this 136 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: question and the person has nothing to say. Right, Let's 137 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: say you ask this question and the person has nothing 138 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: to say. You're now recognizing that there is a bit 139 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: of a way to go. Whether that person isn't aware, 140 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: whether they really don't notice, whether they're not conscious. This 141 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: is an opportunity for you to recognize where you stand 142 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: with someone based on the quality of their response. The 143 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: response may be immediate, their response may be thoughtful. They 144 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: may pause for a while, and that's fine because that 145 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: shows a sign of a genuine answer. But if they say, well, 146 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: I don't think anything, I think everything's fine, don't get 147 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: angry at them, don't get mad at them, don't get 148 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: upset with them, say think about it, come back to 149 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: me when you've thought about it, and give them some time. 150 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Let them maybe sit with it for a week. Let 151 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: them really sit with that, because they may give you 152 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: a really thoughtful response. So that's question number one. The 153 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: second question is what should I do less of? See, 154 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: you just asked for something that created a compliment or gratitude. 155 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: Now you want to ask for feedback. Do it in 156 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: this order? What is it that I do that I 157 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: should do less of? Is there something that I do 158 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: right now that you'd like me to do a little 159 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: less of? This is really powerful. You're asking for feedback 160 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: without saying do you have feedback for me? You're actually 161 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: asking for a chance to improve. You're asking for a 162 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: chance to allow that person to share. If you really 163 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: love them, if you really care about them, and you 164 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: believe they care about you, isn't it healthy for them 165 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: to say, Hey, I feel like every time I get home, 166 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: you're always asking me about my day, and I get 167 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: really tired to answer that. Then I'd love to answer 168 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: that a bit later, or you always ask me really 169 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: important questions while I'm on my phone. And please, next time, 170 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: just say to me, hey, can you just please not 171 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: be on your phone while I ask you this? And 172 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: I'll give you more attention. Right, So, there's so many 173 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: ways of using this as an opportunity to create a 174 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: healthier and more powerful connection. We rarely ask for feedback 175 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: in relationships because what happens in relationships is we think 176 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: the other person should know. We think the other person 177 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: should read our mind. We think that the other persion 178 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: should already be aware, or we don't give it because 179 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: we're scared. We're scared, and therefore, when you ask someone, 180 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: you're opening up a safe space. But you've got to 181 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: be ready to ask in Why will you be ready 182 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: because you'll understand that no matter what they say is 183 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: not personal to you. It's about a pattern, a trait, 184 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: a habit, but it's not about you. Now you'll say, well, Jay, 185 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: what do you mean? Of course it's about me. If 186 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: they're telling me that I need to be less distracted 187 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: when I'm on my phone, how is that not about me? 188 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: You're not a distracted person. You're a person who has distractions. 189 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: So making time and now being able to be present 190 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: is actually helping you too. Stress anxiety, overwhelm, burnout. What 191 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: do all of these have in common? A lack of 192 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: perceived control over your time, thoughts, and tasks. But what 193 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: if I told you fixing all of these problems is 194 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: as simple as fixing your mindset towards them. I know, 195 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: not simple at all. Everyone's busy, everyone's stress, but we 196 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: could all use more calm in our lives, and learning 197 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: to stay grounded and grateful is truly a daily practice. 198 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: That's why I've partnered with Calm dot com to bring 199 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: you the Daily J.

Question number three, 210 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: what do I do that makes you feel confident. This 211 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: is a wonderful question to ask someone. When you have 212 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: trust in a business, when you have trust in a relationship, 213 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: that person makes you feel confident. If you think about 214 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: the relationships that we don't like in our life, and 215 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: if we think about a relationship that we're struggling with, 216 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: it's because that person doesn't make us feel confident. In 217 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: a dating relationship, if someone makes you feel insecure, you 218 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: don't know if you trust them. In a business relationship, 219 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: if you can't count on someone, if someone isn't reliable, 220 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: that means you don't have confidence in them, you don't 221 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: trust them. And ultimately, if you can't expect that a 222 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: fund will be there when you need them, you don't 223 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: have confidence in them. So when you say what do 224 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: I do that makes you feel confident, you get a 225 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: chance to see the level of trust you have in 226 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: a relationship. So if you say what do I do 227 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: that makes you feel confident and they say, well, you 228 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: always compliment me, You're always noticing the good in me. 229 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: That's beautiful. They recognize that if you say what do 230 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: I do that makes you feel confident and they say, well, 231 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, from a work perspective, I always feel organized 232 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: because I know you're on top of my schedule. This 233 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: allows you to repeat that habit, and it allows that 234 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: person to acknowledge that you make them feel confident. It 235 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: deepens trust, It deepens your bond and relationships in ways 236 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: that you can't imagine. So that's question number three, and 237 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: really it's for your repetition. It's so that you can 238 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: repeat that action to build confidence, to build trust in 239 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: that relationship. How many of you want to be in 240 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: relationships that are trusting, that are building confidence. Question number 241 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: four is what do I do that makes you anxious? 242 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: What do I do that I might not even be 243 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: aware of that makes you anxious? What do I do 244 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: that makes you feel uncomfortable that I might not even 245 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: be aware of. I might actually be thinking I'm helping. 246 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: I realized. With me and Radi, I would always ask 247 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: her a question. I'd always say to well, let's go 248 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: through your work schedule, like how are you feeling about 249 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: what's coming up this week? And she'd always be like, 250 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that, And she later 251 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: on when I asked her this question, told me, hey, 252 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: I feel anxious when you talk to me about work 253 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: on the weekends. Because I just want to switch up 254 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: from everything. And I was like, wow, that's so interest 255 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: because I always thought I was helping you plan. And 256 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: we judge ourselves by our intention, not by the effect 257 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: of how it makes that person feel. But how that 258 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: person feels is more important than our intentions. So when 259 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: I ask Rady, hey, let's talk about your work schedule, 260 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: I have great intentions. I love her and I want 261 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: to help her. But if my intention is that but 262 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: it makes her feel uncomfortable, then I need to change that. 263 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: So what do I do that makes you feel anxious? 264 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: What do I do that makes you feel uncomfortable? Is 265 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: a great question to allow the other person to be 266 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: vulnerable with you and for you to gain awareness. And 267 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: I think for so many people we don't want to 268 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: ask this question because we want to think we do 269 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: everything right and we think that our intention is right. Therefore, 270 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: when we're not worried about well, we're like, well, what 271 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: could I do to make them feel anxious? Because I 272 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: love them, I care about them. You can still make 273 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: someone feel anxious even if you care about them, if 274 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: you've not understood how they receive it. Let me repeat that, 275 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: you can still make someone feel anxious even if you 276 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: love them, if you don't know how your actions and 277 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: words impact them, If you are not aware of how 278 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: your actions and behavior and your words make someone feel, 279 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how much you love them, they can 280 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: still feel anxious and uncomfortable. I once said to someone 281 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: on my team, what do I do that makes you 282 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable? What do I do that makes you feel anxious? 283 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: They said, Jay, you are always onto the next, You're 284 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: always changing, You're always iterating, and that makes me feel 285 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: uncomfortable because I don't feel like what I've done is 286 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: good enough. And I thought, wow, this is amazing, Like 287 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: because I would compliment, I would congratulate, but still that 288 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: wasn't enough. And they said, well, sometimes I just need 289 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: to feel like reminded again that we did get someone. 290 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, thank you so much for that, Like, 291 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: thank you for giving me that feedback. So when you 292 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: ask someone for this, you get so many wonderful, profound responses. 293 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: I want you to really test this out. The reason 294 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing this episode instead of just giving you principles, 295 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you questions because I want you 296 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: to try these out. I want you to test them out. 297 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: I want to give you real tools on this podcast, 298 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: not just ideas or concepts, but tools that you can 299 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: practice with someone you work with, someone you love, someone 300 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: you have a deep friendship with, whoever it may be. 301 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: Because I want you to get this clarity in your relationship. 302 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: See relationships deepen when there's clarity. We always say, oh, 303 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: the importance behind the relationship is communication, But the key 304 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: to good communication is clarity. And you only get clarity 305 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: when you ask great questions. Okay, Question number five is 306 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: what is your love language? We all know the book 307 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: Love Languages that Gary Chapman made to five love languages. 308 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: If you don't know it, it's an awesome theory. The 309 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: idea of you all like to receive love in different ways, 310 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: but we often give love in the way we want 311 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: to receive it, not in the way someone else wants 312 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: to receive it. So the five love languages are words 313 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: of affirmation, physical touch, receiving gifts, quality time, and acts 314 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: of service. So words of affirmation is people in our 315 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: lives who like to be reminded through words that they 316 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: have achieved something, that they are worthy, that they are loved. Right. 317 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: The idea that we need a love note, we need 318 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: a text. We need encouragement, words of affirmation. You know 319 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: people in your life and we all need all of these, 320 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: but we need them in an order. Second is physical touch, 321 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: holding hands, hugs, morning cuddles. Right. Whatever it may be 322 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: physical touch, it could also be a gentle hand just 323 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: to say yeah, I'm here with you, I'm here for you. Right, 324 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: It's all nonverbal. It's party language based. Receiving gifts, I mean, 325 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: this was a big one for me. For a long 326 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: long time. I love receiving gifts and giving gifts, but 327 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: I realized they're not everyone in my life needs gifts 328 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: and the way I do. So I love receiving gifts, 329 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: like absolutely love personalized gifts, and I love giving people 330 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: personalized gifts. And I start to realize that people didn't 331 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: respond to gifts in the way I did. So some 332 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: people when they got gifts from me, no matter how 333 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: amazing they were, they were like, yeah, that's great, thank you, 334 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: But really they wanted the next one quality time. They 335 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: wanted quality time. And this is the thing about love languages. 336 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: You can't buy someone over with words of affirmation if 337 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: really they're what they want is quality time. You can't 338 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: replace physical touch with a gift. And then the last 339 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: fifth one is acts of service. People want support, people 340 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: want to help when you go out of your way. 341 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: I had one friend who wants acts of service, and 342 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: so nothing else is considered as important as an act 343 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: of service. She feels you can't be a friend if 344 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: there hasn't been an act of service. Asking your partner 345 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: what their love language is is a really useful skill, 346 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: a really powerful skill, because it gives that opportunity. It 347 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: gives that ability for someone to tell you how they 348 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: want to be loved now when it's their birthday. If 349 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: what they want is words of affirmation, you might write 350 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: them a poem. You might write them the longest card ever. 351 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: You might write them a secret clue that leads to 352 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: all these different things that they learn about themselves. If 353 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: someone wants acts of service, you may make them breakfast 354 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: in bed instead of buying them a gift. And often 355 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: you're like, well, I just brought you an amazing gift. 356 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: Why aren't you happy? And they're like, but I'm really 357 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: looking for acts of service. So asking someone what their 358 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: love languages helps you love them better. And that could 359 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: be a work colleague and be a friend. It could 360 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: be anyone in your life. The sixth question, which is 361 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: stuff that I'm really working on right now that I 362 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: can't wait to share with you in my next book, 363 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: is what's your fight style? Do you run away and 364 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: need to be alone? Do you want to talk it out? 365 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: Or are you someone that needs to scream and shout? 366 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Like do I need to get used to that? Do 367 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: I need to be aware of that? What I love 368 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: about these questions is you also get to open up 369 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: about your answers. When you've asked a question, you get 370 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: to then share with the other person how you feel, 371 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: what you're going through, what you're experiencing as well. So 372 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: fight styles now, I know, like Rady, she needs to 373 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: sit and reflect and I want to talk it out. 374 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: We're both not shoudy people, were not overly aggravated people. 375 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: But in the beginning I would be like, oh, well, 376 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: if you don't want to talk about it, that means 377 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: you don't care about it, and she'd be like, I 378 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: do care about it, but I need to think about it. 379 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: And then I'd be like, all right, well, let's meet 380 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: in the middle. When do we talk about this. Let's 381 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: set a time so that we do get there. A 382 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: lot of this requires cooperation. But if we don't have 383 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: the basic cooperation, chances are we don't really have a 384 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: strong relationship. And that's painful to understand. But it's true 385 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: that a relationship requires a lot of collaboration and cooperations. 386 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: So if we're not collaborating and cooperating on this makes 387 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: it really tough. So truthfully, understanding each other's fight style 388 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: saves you a lot of energy in time. If you 389 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: never ask that question, you left guessing, wishing, waiting, hoping. 390 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: So many different things that are going on right, so 391 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: many different things. Now. The seventh question is, and this 392 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: is the toughest one, the hardest one, is this relationship 393 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: going in the direction you want it to go? If not, 394 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: what is the direction? And shall we both commit to that? 395 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: Can we both commit to that? This is one of 396 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: those questions that you wait to ask when you feel 397 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: really confident in a relationship. I just spent the last 398 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: couple of days with my business partner behind all of 399 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: our incredible programs.

Things were progressing, we were doing great work, 410 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: but we couldn't identify the direction we wanted to go in. 411 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: And now that we've done that over four days, I 412 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: can't wait for what's coming to you.

And that came from 416 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: asking that question, is this going in the right direction? 417 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: What can we do to get it in the right direction? 418 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: We know we believe in each other, we know we're connected, 419 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: but what do we need to do? These are the 420 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: seven questions to ask to deepen any relationship and improve vulnerability, intimacy, 421 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: and connection.
