Invest in social connection when you feel stuck. voice-verified

I'm gonna voice-verified

say a phrase that gets uttered uh a lot on this show, uh, that I first heard from Dr. voice-verified

Robert Waldinger. voice-verified

Sorry to mention Harvard again, but he's at Harvard, and that is never worry alone. voice-verified

I have a lot of bad habits, but when I'm feeling stuck, I have a really good habit of voice-verified

I will just reach out and talk to the people in my life. voice-verified

I I won't. voice-verified

I won't suffer in silence. voice-verified

Gretchen, this c I don't know if this maps onto tendencies per se, but um like what if you're an introvert and you s other people are, you know, like not so appetizing to you? voice-verified

I often think about like the the fact that psychologically speaking there are two spirals available to us. voice-verified

So there's what my friend Evelyn calls the toilet vortex where you're stuck or because you're in a m uh stressed or whatever, you are beating yourself up and that impacts your relationships. voice-verified

And because relationships are as we've just established, probably the most important variable in human flourishing, we feel even worse and then we're then our relationships suffer even more and down you go. voice-verified

Uh uh conversely voice-verified

there is an upward spiral where you and I think the upward spiral is is accessible from either side. voice-verified

So you can either start with, you know, doing some of the inner work that we've described in this conversation voice-verified

Or you can start with the outer work that we've described in this conversation, helping somebody or just having some social interaction. voice-verified

And and once your inner weather is balmier, your relationships improve, and then your inner weather gets even better and your relationships improve even further. voice-verified

And so yeah, I just want to see whether you think this makes sense, specifically the part about how, you know, we can get unstuck by starting a voice-verified

On either side of the upward spiral. voice-verified
