Episode #4 – Building Positive Relationships
In this fourth conversation on the Spreading The Good Stuff podcast we unpack the notion of positive and negative relationships and how they affect our lives.
We all know that negative relationships can have a detrimental affect, but how often do we look inward when judging so-called ‘toxic’ relationships?
Christy talks about her ‘judgement’ detox (sounds painful), how comparison is the ‘devil’ and Katrina shares a story about a long-term negative relationship and what she learned when she let it go.
Leonie urges us to consider what we share on social media when faced with a challenging relationship, and how to keep focused on the ‘good’ in a negative world.
Our personal stories certainly don’t hold all the answers, however we are helping each other to remember compassion, kindness and empathy in all our personal relationships, with both our family and friends.
We also talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people and how to lean towards the positive relationships in our lives.
A wise person once said: you get to choose your attitude each and every day and we encourage you to focus on the ‘good’.
As always we leave you with some tips, and this week our number one is to remember that positivity starts with you – always!
