Read the emotional pattern
Care can be practiced through attentive everyday actions. Effort matters most when it responds to what the relationship actually needs.
Separate feeling from inference
Use this lens to explore the emotional quality of a situation. A card cannot verify another person’s private feelings.
- Name the feeling this interpretation brings up in you first.
- Write down the other person’s observable words and actions separately from your explanation of them.
- If it is appropriate to ask, choose a direct question that gives the other person room to describe their own experience.
A question for your side of the connection
What exactly am I trying to improve, and how will I notice the improvement?
