"Our Type" Of Partner
While choosing a partner, we subconsciously type-cast them. We have a particular preference for a type of person that can provide us with a feeling of warmth and familiarity.
We are drawn towards, or attracted to certain individuals that make us comfortable and have similar values and traits.
Dating Outside Your Type
- Instead of dating according to a laundry list of traits and preferences, a person can get out of their comfort and familiarity zones and date other types of people.
- One can choose a different kind of individual, breaking the unconscious habits or roles developed as a child.
- When we start to look at others holistically rather than through a series of must-have qualities, it broadens our perspective. Let people surprise you, and surprise yourself!

Tackle One Behavior At a Time
You can’t fully focus on any behavior if you try to establish several at once.

“Stack” Your Habits

As you build new habits, you create new triggers for yourself and stack a new habit onto it. Each existing habit acts as a trigger to remind you to complete the next one until it becomes natural to do both together.

Set Expectations From The Beginning
Whether you’re speaking up in a team meeting or you’re conducting a presentation, it’s important to be clear that you'll need to get all of your ideas out there before opening the floor to questions and contributions.
This sets the tone right from the get-go that you’re aiming to share your ideas free of interruptions. This also makes it easy to halt an interrupter in his tracks.
Keep Going
Sometimes you can only fight fire with fire.
Refuse to pause for interruptions, and instead continue moving forward with your ideas. If needed, you can even pause for a second to address the interrupter and say, “one moment,” and then finish off your thought.
