Recent events may have sparked power struggles in your 1:1s. And while tension with your loved ones can be generative, it can also be just plain draining. So pause and practice a little TLC. If you’ve found yourself clinging stubbornly to your opinions at the expense of your nervous system, wave the white flag. Take a break from stressful relationships, whether romantic or platonic. When you do, you’ll clear space for more compassionate dynamics.
