When the Mirror Neurons Ain’t Workin’…

Today, we’re diving into how our emotions influence each other, thanks to something called mirror neurons. These neurons mean that we naturally pick up and reflect each other's emotions. When you’re stressed, your partner can feel it, and the same goes for calmness. If you project calmness, your partner is more likely to feel calm too. Understanding this can help you create a more positive atmosphere in your relationship.

Action Items:

1. In tense moments, model the calmness you wish to see—your body language and tone will set the emotional tone for both of you.

2. Pay attention to how your partner’s emotions affect you, and adjust your response to encourage a positive dynamic.
