You're in the middle of an argument — with your spouse over something small, a co-parent over text, a coworker in a meeting, your teenager about curfew — and at some point, nobody's saying anything new anymore. You're just repeating yourself, louder, waiting for your turn to talk instead of actually listening.This episode looks at what's really happening in that moment: why continuing to argue past a certain point isn't a sign of how right you are, and why one more good point almost never lands the way you hope. You'll hear the real, physical reason arguments stop being productive — and why noticing it and stepping back isn't the same as giving up.Today's Extra episode walks through exactly how to call that pause.Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.Watch 7 Good Minutes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@7goodminutes7 Good Minutes is presented by OCEANSCAPE and published by The Extraordinary Network.
