Explore some key components to a thriving relationship with us as we unpack some of the Philosophy Of Fitness!
04:11 Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear: Your environment can have a massive affect on your actions. So one way to develop a new healthy habit, is to construct an environment that prompts you to do those things you want to do.
05:52 Relationship Fitness, how lessons in the gym can be applied to our relationships.
08:09 We are seldom taught, as children, explicit methods for having good relationships.
10:31 Art of Manliness Podcast Ep. on Rites of Passage (don't let the title turn you off, this is a beautiful podcast episode!)
12:23 If you're interested in some really fascinating history of the roles of women in ancient Greece, check out: The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name by Brian C. Muraresku.
13:03 One reason why young men and boys will act mean or aloof when they are attracted to someone.
15:49 Intention: With fitness, we have to be intentional about offsetting the perils of modern life. Good relationships don't necessarily take "work", but they do take intentional practice and presence.
22:48 Watch the opening credits to "F is for Family" as a great analogy to what we're talking about in losing intention.
26:47 Relationships, like fitness, can deteriorate out of a lack of consistent, intentional practice. Just like you don't mean to get out of shape, it just happens, so too can our relationships get deconditioned when left to unintentional whims.
28:41 We are all changing all the time. Don't fall into the trap of assumptions about yourself, your partner, and your relationship.
29:18 Entering into a relationship can be seen as an implicit contract. You are now responsible for considering someone else besides yourself.
30:04 Just like being genetically predisposed to accel at a certain sport, compatibility can reduce the friction (work needed) in your relationship.
39:27 If you're seeking compatibility, work on yourself and becoming the type of person who will be attractive to what you want.
