Invest your attention and affection wisely (DW#351)
Over the last several days, we have been discovering how simple it is to grow love in small and seemingly insignificant ways. Hopefully you have added some of these rituals to your own relationships and have been enjoying the results.
There is, however, one important and possibly uncomfortable conversation that we still need to have about the easiness with which love can grow.
The micro-moments of positivity resonance, as we have discovered, happen when two or more people share a positive moment of emotional connection together. The "biology of love", however, does not discriminate between committed and casual relationships.
To put it another way, it is almost as easy (and sometimes easier) to share these moments with strangers than with our own loved ones. This is because strangers don’t come with the baggage that accompanies the challenges of sharing daily life with another human being.
This is why we need to be on guard and recognize that we need to be intentional about whom we share these moments of positivity resonance with. In other words, if we invest our time and attention towards those whom we are committed to, our family relationships will blossom.
If, on the other hand, we are open to sharing these moments with others who are not part of our family circle, it can lead us down a very dangerous path.
For the next few days, let us discuss how to guard and protect our relationships.
