Chemistry and the different personality types
It very often happens that we fall in love, while feeling uncontrollably attracted to, with individuals who end up breaking our hearts. Anthropologists found four personality types, as follows:
- the explorer: whose main trait is the curiousity
- the builder: who is defined by his need to manage
- the director: who is extremely analytical and narrow-minded
- the negotiator: who sees the big picture
A factor of major importance, when falling in love with someone, is how we perceive our childhood. We all tend to search for persons who can heal us from a memory or a pain lived at some point in our life.

Whenever you find yourself in the situation of falling in love with someone new, you might as well want to pay attention to more than the person's looks or financial situation. Identify your non-negotiables in terms of 'must be' for your future relationship and do not give them up. If they are not negotiable, then you are most certainly not going to be happy in their absence.

The building blocks of a relationship
The building blocks of any relationship rest on compatibility and chemistry. All relationships have a combination of these qualities to a more or lesser extent.
Compatibility
Compatibility can be described as being together without conflict.
Two people can fit like a glove both conversationally and psychologically. For some, that connection alone can be enough to be happy and thrive.
Chemistry in a relationship
Chemistry is a complex emotional or psychological interaction. It is a natural rhythm between two people that cannot be forced or created.
While some people are content with a relationship that is compatible, others feel an intense desire for that chemistry. Figure out what feels right to you in a relationship and strive for that.

Activation energy
Every habit or behavior has an activation energy. The more difficult or complex a behavior, the higher the activation energy required to start it. The smaller the habit, the less energy you...
Smaller habits are more sustainable
Big goals often require big activation energies. And you get stuck dreaming about life-changing outcomes, instead of taking action.
Stick with smaller habits. They require smaller activation energies and that makes them more sustainable.
Environment design = catalyst for building better habits
Environments where we live and work influence our behaviors. Catalysts lower the activation energy required to start a new habit. And optimizing you environment is one way to catalyze habits: in the right environment, every habit is easier.
