Or perhaps you have felt a simmering resentment beneath the surface, unable to express it constructively. Anger can be like a storm, sudden and tumultuous.

You'll learn how to identify the warning signs of anger, take constructive time-outs, and engage in active listening to better understand your partner's perspective.

As the winter season unfolds and the holidays bring their usual whirlwind of activity, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Amid the gift shopping, party planning, and packed schedules, the essence of connection and kindness often gets overshadowed. Yet, this time of year offers a unique opportunity to refocus on the deeper values that make life meaningful. In 2017, a 5-part series titled "How Kindness Can Strengthen Your Love" introduced a new take on the traditional Advent calendar, encouraging readers to practice one small act of kindness each day in December. This season, the focus returns to kindness—not just as a gift to others, but as a transformative practice for self-compassion and relationship growth. Research shows that the key to lasting, fulfilling relationships isn't extravagant gestures—it's simple acts of kindness and generosity. Studies reveal that kindness, along with emotional stability, is the most important predictor of satisfaction and stability in relationships. What's more, giving kindness often benefits the giver even more than the receiver. In this episode, we dive into the power of kindness and how it creates a ripple effect, spreading positivity and inspiring goodwill. We'll explore how kindness strengthens relationships, nurtures emotional well-being, and can be cultivated like a muscle to improve our connections and our lives. Join us as we reflect on how kindness can be the greatest gift we give this holiday season—and beyond. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website. In this episode 06:31 Making a habit of spreading good vibes. 08:08 How kindness benefits both the giver and the receiver significantly. 14:51 Understanding emotional awareness in relationships. 19:26 The impact of gentleness and compassion in communication. 21:26 Navigating intimate dynamics with increased mindfulness. 27:21 How kindness transforms perspectives and priorities. 32:56 The science behind kindness and personal Well-being. 38:41 Kindness as a path to sustainable happiness. 41:40 Strategies for integrating kindness into daily life.

With context you’ll realize “Feast on fasting” is not a nonsensical title. As I write this description I recently fasted from being a father and husband and went on a solo, four day getaway.I took the time to do some deep, creative work and the break from some of my daily roles brought me back as a better father and husband, and my family knows it. Not long before this I took a week long fast from my work, and spent it on the beach with my wife. Now aren’t those fasts to feast on?! My friend Shaunti Feldhahn calls us to a 30 Day Kindness Challenge to fast on criticism of a specific person in our lives. But what she teaches us is how life giving the fast is for US! We are the major benefactor. Fasting is not merely abstaining from the things we like. Though, there is merit for that. Let’s take food. Missing a meal, let alone not eating for day is near fightin’ words in the good ole US of A where eating is our primary hobby, if not life vocation. Yet for the greatest span of time, we feasted and fasted. We had a good crop or had a great hunt, and we feasted! Then there were days of travel or harsh weather or scarce food, and we missed a meal, or went a day or even days without eating. Regularly. And you know what, our body is made for that. Much of our dietary problems stem from constantly causing our body stress to be digesting food all the time! Even throughout the night! Almost everybody who merely skips a couple meals in a day, even more so an entire day, attests to...while their taste buds revolted, their body and mind felt much better. But I encourage you to listen to this show. You’ll find a different paradigm on fasting. I for one, do not enjoy abstaining from my various appetites. So you won’t be hearing any pithy excitement from me at abstaining from my main drugs of food, drink, sex and more. But I like the results. I much more enjoy talking about fasting from some of the tasks and roles of life to feast on fulfilling endeavors. You might even come away excited and eager about...fasting.

Take up Ellen DeGeneres' challenge & try being kind. Or if taking the advice of a person you may disagree with or oppose, try taking up the 30 Day Kindness Challenge from Shaunti Feldhahn. All truth is God's Truth. So just because you may not agree or like the messenger who is speaking truth, doesn't mean God isn't speaking through that person. Being kind is not that difficult. It's much harder to fester & brood into bitterness than it is at being kind. To be kind means you have to surrender something for the benefit of another. Have a differing view? Have some questions or comments? I'd love to hear them & respond to them. Send me a message through Anchor Podcast. I'll be happy to address it in an upcoming episode. http://Podcast.InsaneErikLane.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eriklane/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/eriklane/support

Well if you Google it, the top article has more like 28 things to do to make your marriage better. It can feel overwhelming - is there really one great place to get started? Join us as we discuss! The Tension: There are so many things that can make your marriage better.  But where’s the best place to start? Nancie, Ted’s wife, suggested that couples simply ‘be kind’. And come to find out, this simple idea is backed by research!  Shaunti Felhaun and her team studied this very thing. And on this episode, Ted had the chance to interview Shaunti about how kindness can impact a marriage. Shaunti received her graduate degree from Harvard University and was an analyst on Wall Street before unexpectedly becoming a social researcher and best-selling author.  Today, she applies that analytical experience to uncovering the little changes that have big impacts in our lives, marriages, families and workplace relationships.  Her groundbreaking books, including For Women Only and For Men Only have sold more than 2 million copies in 23 languages. Her newest book, The Kindness Challenge, is sparking an international movement called the 30-Day Kindness Challenge.   Truth: Kindness is one of the most powerful things in a marriage Interview with Shaunti It turns out that whether or not you’re thriving in your marriage is far more correlated to how you treat other people than how you yourself are treated. What does it mean to be kind? Kindness is three things – withholding unkindness, speaking kind words and doing kind things. We studied and spent several years with more than a thousand people in a study group to discover what you can do or not do to be kind. We ended up with what we call the 30 Day Kindness Challenge.  You have to do 3 things for 30 days and it’s super simple – you have to pick one person that you want a better relationship with (and of course we would encourage your spouse) and: Don’t say anything negative about that person (to them or about them to someone else). Find one thing that you can sincerely praise or affirm (tell them and someone else). Do a small action of kindness for that person If you do these three things for 30 days, 89% of relationships improve!  Who needs the kindness challenge? Have you, in the past year, said “Man, this culture has gotten so unkind?” or “People are so mean on social media”? It’s so easy for us to think “Those people out there – I can’t believe they said that on social media… It’s just awful”. It’s easy to think that about them, but I can’t change them. That tone that they used is the same tone I used with my husband yesterday. And the ‘random acts of kindness’ that we see do make the world a better place, but intentional kindness toward one person that opens your eyes makes you a better person. Can you please talk to my friend and other people who are listening who think kindness is squishy? Kindness, it turns out, is a superpower. It has unbelievable power in whatever it is we’re trying to improve in our life. When we give kindness, especially when it is not deserved, it causes miraculous things. Your one simple thing this week: Take the kindness assessment  You may be surprised what you find!  Ted: I took the assessment and thought I knew where it was going but this thing nailed me to the wall! Afton: This ties back to our first episode with micro-moves. The challenge is looking for something every day. CJ: It’s like driving – you assume you’re a pretty good driver and don’t need someone to tell you how to fix you’re driving. But I’m going to take it and I think it is going to be pretty interesting!

Shaunti Feldhahn, author of the Kindness Challenge: Thirty Days to Improve Any Relationship, is the guest on this episode of Clutter Free Academy. Kathi and Shaunti discuss what being clutter free in your heart means.  Sometimes we think of ourselves a being kind, but when we learn what all is involved in kindness we realize we have work to do.  They also discuss the difference between kindness and being nice. Whether you thrive in your life and relationships doesn't depend on circumstances or how others treat you, but on how YOU treat others. Shaunti invites listeners to participate in her 30-Day Kindness Challenge. Kathi encourages you to enjoy the free things available on the site.  Take the assessment and use the group resources.
