Learning how to activate your brain’s relational circuits is a foundational practice for using the 19 skills. When your relational circuit goes off, you are severely limited in your ability to stay relationally connected. With practice, we can learn to live relationally and remain anchored in good and bad times.
Our brains are wired to be glad to be together. Sharing joy is relational and is something we need to feel fulfilled as a human. When our joy levels fade, our pain becomes loud and problems become more important than relationships. Sharing joy must be intentional to train our brains to increase our windows for joy.
Simple quiet is a purposeful pause. When we seek a moment to catch our breath within a relational dynamic. Quieting is when we can look away to recover from the energetic stimulation we experienced in relationship.
This is what we love to call packaged joy. When we think about the good things our brain responds like we are experiencing it again. Healthy minds are full of appreciation – appreciation, creates belonging, because we can share the good stuff with other people.
Seeing people and events from God’s perspective yields a life filled with hope and direction.
