A More Personal Way to Coach

There’s the halo greeting and there’s touch. See, if you got two of those. There’s two out of four and there’s research to support this. By the way, uh, studies show that non-sexual physical affection increases oxytocin levels, reduces stress and strengthens emotional bonds. And going back to the little good morning thing, you know, I always quote John Gottman of the Gottman Institute and he calls these things bids for connection. Research shows that couples who respond positively to these bids for connection, like my friend going to greet her husband at the end of his day, that’s a bid for connection. Uh, all right. Another thing that couples healthy couples do every morning is they say something positive to each other in the morning. They set the day off. Well, sometimes I will just say to Julio, you look like you had a really good sleep. The bags are gone out of your eyes and your eyes aren’t so red. Anyone know I don’t highlight the negative? I just say.
