Next , tell each other what you did not appreciate about yourself. For the purpose of this exercise, report something you did not appreciate, only if you have a solution. For example, if you were upset with how you expressed your anger, your solution would not be that you not be angry, but how you could have expressed that anger in a way that would have been easier for you or someone else. Remember, for this experience, solutions always follow what you did not appreciate. Then Tell your partner about a personal challenge you see for yourself in the coming week and specifically what they can do to be supportive of you meeting your personal challenge.
Personal challenges can be positive.
Remember to be specific about how your partner can be supportive. Finally , if you want to talk about anything of conflict that has been said make an a ppointment with your partner at a time separate from your Half-Hour Meeting. Be sure this is uninterrupted time. After you have finished, agree on the date and time for your next weekly Half-Hour Meeting. This exercise may evoke past or present feelings or issues you have been successful at avoiding.
