Dissecting Why are Health Relationships so Hard to Come By by Lewis Howes Guest Staring Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh

Today we are going to be discussing the podcast The Daily Motivation by Lewis Howes the episode titled Why are Healthy Relationships Failing so Hard guest starring Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh and how it relates to this class. 
This blog caught my eye because of the way it addresses an issue that a lot of people have experienced. It made me think of issues I have in my relationship and ways I can fix it. I think everyone could benefit from listening it because it applies to other relationships outside of romantic ones.
The School of Greatness
Throughout the podcast Lewis Howes discussed with Dr. Siri the ideas of why relationships are on a downward spiral. That people are choosing to run from uncomfortable relationships and causing themselves more pain. 
This podcast talks about the importance of understanding both sides of the relationship, that both the feminine and masculine principles. That self awareness is a necessity and that you must be willing to be vulnerable and leaning into those vulnerabilities. A big point of this is the mask of venerability, a shield to hide behind and something that disrupts relationships. This reminds me of communication online, that people have the ability to hide behind a screen and create emotional distance and breaks.
 I encourage you to look into this topic more because it was interesting to learn about.

We are at the integrating stage in our relationship. This means we are in an official relationship and are starting to become a unit while creating a shared personality. We talk and share pretty much everything. We split holidays at each others families houses and go on little weekends together. If we had a more permanent attachment such as an engagement (I promise that ...

 This week we were asked to answer some questions about social media and social networking.  Image from Rise One that caught my eye was the question about an optimal number of "friends" to improve mental health, something I want to bring up in this discussion is the idea that a certain number of "likes" or "shares" will also improve your mental health, but I believe some what of the opposite. This is because I remember when instagram started making it so you could hide like counts, it made it so I personally wasn't focused on those kinds of things but instead I was focused on the things that make me happy. It released the pressure somewhat in social media.
