Speaker 1: approach to relationships. Knowing oneself isn't just about understanding your
0:16
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses. It's about recognizing your values, triggers, and

Speaker 1: become battlegrounds of misunderstanding and mist connections. The Stoics practice

0:46
Speaker 1: behaviours impact those I care about? This level of introspection
0:51
Speaker 1: allows for growth not just as individuals, but within the
0:55
Speaker 1: dynamics of a relationship. Imagine the depth of connection that
1:00
Speaker 1: can be achieved when you truly understand yourself and by extension,
1:04
Speaker 1: understand how to be with someone else. You become more adaptable, empathetic,
1:10
Speaker 1: and responsive to the needs of your partner. Conversely, a

1:19
Speaker 1: and repeated patterns that sabotage relationships. Therefore, embracing self awareness
1:26

1:35

1:39
Speaker 1: more meaningful connections.
