Happy Monday, Pursuits. So, we are returning to lessons from summer. This summer of bringing such a mixture of exquisite beauty, relaxation and playful experience along with the tragedies of this last monthes a great lesson from research on the 5-1 ratio. We can choose what to focus on at any given time and that choice can create a positive override. It is fascinating that it is the same ratio 5 positive to 1 negative to create a positive override whether it pertains to personal wellness, couples or family communication or skill building of any kind. (ie. playing a passage with the corrected mistake 5 times to build the new muscle memory) We can consciously build new pathways and a stronger, positive and more resilient response through this process in our lives. Here is John Gottman PhD, sharing his expertise from the Gottman Institute based at the University of Washington, with a youtube presentation on this ratio pertaining to couple satisfaction and positivity. https://youtube/watch?v=Xw9SE315GtA
