@upspiral.life: 5 things to do with someone before you get serious in a relationship, so you know who you’re really dealing with. Click the link in my bio to find out more about my new manifestation program. 1. Travel together. Delayed flights, missed turns, foreign bathrooms, no AC. Travel stress strips the mask right off. Do they stay calm, or spiral because the hotel doesn’t have oat milk? That’s your future. 2. Fight and recover. A real disagreement with real stakes. Can you both stay regulated and repair without a third party or a cold war? The Gottman Institute says how couples handle conflict is one of the biggest predictors of relationship success. 3. Be sick around each other. Flu, food poisoning, a gnarly UTI, pick one. Intimacy includes sweats, clammy skin and begging for saltines. If they see you like that and don’t flinch, you’re good. 4. See them broke or under pressure. What’s their money nervous system like? Denial, full hustle mode, blame the world? That’s their financial attachment style, and you’ll be living with it. 5. Spend a whole lazy weekend together. No plans, no distractions. Do you get bored? Annoyed? Scroll in silence next to each other? Or does something in you finally rest in their presence? Love shows up in how you ride the lows together. #UpSpiralLife #RelationshipAdvice #DatingAdvice #HealthyRelationships #NervousSystemHealing
