3 Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Relationship | Brendon Burchard

Description: This video is a wonderful resource for anyone looking to improve their relationships, whether they’re romantic, familial, or platonic. Brendon Burchard, a renowned high-performance coach, and personal development trainer, shares his insights on the three essential elements contributing to a healthy and thriving relationship. These elements, which he refers to as the “Three E’s,” are Empathy, Enthusiasm, and Encouragement.

Here are the key takeaways from the video:

1. Empathy (Timestamp: 1:00 – 2:30)

   • Empathy is about understanding and caring about what the other person is saying, even if you disagree with it.
   • Empathy often manifests as active listening, allowing the other person to speak, and validating their feelings and perspectives.

2. Enthusiasm (Timestamp: 2:31 – 4:00)

   • Enthusiasm is the energy behind the relationship. It’s about being excited about building your life together and resolving conflicts.
   • Enthusiasm is also about being eager to improve the relationship, go deeper, and do things your partner loves.

3. Encouragement (Timestamp: 4:01 – 5:00)

   • Encouragement is about praising and cheering on your partner more than complaining or negating.
   • It’s about leaving little notes of appreciation, cheering each other on, and acknowledging each other’s achievements.

Burchard emphasizes that these three elements should be looked for and actively cultivated within a relationship. He suggests asking your partner how you can better demonstrate empathy, brings enthusiasm into the relationship, and encourage them more. The goal is to co-create your future together, supporting each other in the process.

Remember, it’s about the ‘we’ story, not just the ‘me’ story. It’s about understanding that you must communicate, plan, and work together to build that ideal future together.
