PSYCHOLOGY IN 60 SECONDS Peter Dutton Imagine getting into a taxi and telling the driver: “Don’t take me to Manchester.” “Don’t go to Birmingham.” “Don’t go to Liverpool.” Eventually, the driver would ask: “Where do you want to go?” Yet many people speak to themselves like this every day. “I don’t want to fail.” “I don’t want to be rejected.” “I don’t want to feel anxious.” Your brain needs direction. Try: “I want to be calm.” “I want to be present.” “I want to give my best.” “I want to enjoy the challenge.” The quality of your instructions often shapes the quality of your focus. Tell your mind where you want to go. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Mindset #SelfTalk #PerformancePsychology #PeterDuttonPsychology

“How you talk to yourself… matters.” Peter Dutton Psychology in 60 Seconds with Peter Dutton Inside each of us is an internal child, emotional, instinctive, vulnerable. And beside them, an internal parent, guiding, soothing, or sometimes judging. How you speak to yourself in tough moments reflects that relationship. Do you criticise or coach? Punish or protect? Your self-talk builds your emotional environment. Choose wisely #PsychologyIn60Seconds #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfTalkMatters #InnerChildHealing #PerformancePsychology #PeterDutton #MentalHealthAwareness #BeyondFootball #HighPerformanceMindset #selfcompassionjourney

“Nobody makes you feel angry. Nobody makes you feel tense. Nobody makes you feel upset.

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Remember who it's for When the work gets hard, most of us try to push harder. But often what's missing isn't effort. It's meaning. Psychologist Adam Grant studied a team of university fundraisers making phone calls for scholarships. Tough job. Lots of rejection. Then he had some of them meet one student whose life had been changed by that scholarship. Just five minutes. In the weeks that followed, those callers spent more than twice as long on the phone and raised well over double the money. Same job. Same script. They just remembered who it was for. I see this with athletes and leaders all the time. When you lose sight of why, everything feels heavy. When you reconnect with it, you find energy you didn't know you had. So try this. Before something difficult today, ask yourself one question. "Who is this for?" Your family. Your team. The younger you who dreamed of this. Hold them in your mind. Then go again. Go well. When effort runs out, meaning keeps you going. Who are you doing it for? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Purpose #HighPerformance #Motivation

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Can your team speak up? Harvard professor Amy Edmondson was studying hospital teams. She expected the best teams to make the fewest mistakes. She found the opposite. The best teams reported more mistakes. Not because they were making more. Because they felt safe enough to admit them. She called it psychological safety. The belief that you can speak up, ask a question or own a mistake without being humiliated. Years later, Google studied hundreds of its own teams to find out what made the best ones different. Talent? Experience? Seniority? Psychological safety came out on top. I see the same thing in sport. The best dressing rooms aren't the ones where nobody makes mistakes. They're the ones where people own them quickly and fix them together. In business, the problem you don't hear about is the one that hurts you. So if you lead a team, try this. Next time someone brings you a mistake or bad news, make your first words, "Thank you for telling me." Then solve it. Do that a few times, and watch what people start telling you. Go well. High performing teams aren't the ones with no problems. They're the ones where problems get spoken about early. Does your team feel safe to speak up? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety #HighPerformance

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Talk to yourself by name When you're under pressure, listen to how you talk to yourself. "I can't do this. I'm going to mess it up." Now try it a different way. "Peter, you've done this before. You know what to do." Sounds odd. But it works. Psychologist Ethan Kross found that when people coached themselves using their own name instead of "I," they felt less anxious and performed better under stress. Using your name creates a little distance. You stop being the person drowning in it. You become the coach on the sidelines. And we're all far kinder and calmer coaching someone else. So next time the pressure builds, step outside yourself. Use your name. Talk to yourself like you'd talk to someone you believe in. Go well. You'd never speak to a friend the way you speak to yourself under pressure. Try using your name next time. What would your inner coach say right now? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #SelfTalk #HighPerformance #MentalStrength

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Control the controllables Before every big game, I ask athletes one question. "What can you control today?" Not the referee. Not the weather. Not the result. Your effort. Your attitude. Your next action. That's it. Most stress comes from gripping things we can't control. Let those go, and you free up energy for the things you can. So today, draw two circles. In one, what you can control. In the other, what you can't. Then put all your attention in the first one. Go well. You can't control everything. But you can always control your next move. What's one thing you'll let go of today? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Mindset #HighPerformance #MentalStrength

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Stop relying on willpower A founder I worked with told me he had no discipline. Every night he promised himself an early night. Every night he ended up scrolling until 1am. So I asked him where his phone was when he went to bed. "On the pillow next to me." That wasn't a discipline problem. That was a design problem. Here's what the research shows. Psychologist Wendy Wood found that around 43 percent of what we do each day, we do on autopilot. Out of habit, not decision. And habits follow cues in our environment. Even more interesting, studies show that people who seem to have great self control often aren't resisting temptation all day. They've arranged their lives so they don't have to. They make the good choice easy and the bad choice awkward. So he moved his phone charger to the kitchen. Bought a cheap alarm clock. Within a week, he was sleeping better than he had in years. Same man. Same willpower. Different environment. So try this. Pick one habit you keep fighting. Then change one thing around you that makes it easier to win. Stop trying to be stronger. Start making it simpler. Go well. Willpower runs out. A well designed environment doesn't. What's one thing you could move tonight to make tomorrow easier? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Habits #HighPerformance #Mindset

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Write a done list A managing director once told me, "I worked fourteen hours today and achieved nothing." So I asked him to talk me through his day. Three difficult calls handled. A problem solved for his team. A decision he'd been avoiding for weeks, finally made. He hadn't achieved nothing. He just hadn't noticed any of it. Most of us do the same. We measure ourselves against the to do list. And the to do list never ends. So every day feels like falling short. Harvard researcher Teresa Amabile studied thousands of daily diary entries from people at work. She found the single biggest boost to motivation and mood wasn't pay, praise or big wins. It was the feeling of making progress. Even small steps forward. But here's the catch. Progress only helps if you see it. So try this. At the end of each day, write a done list. Three things you moved forward. However small. A call you made. A conversation you had. A moment you handled better than last time. It takes two minutes. And it changes how you see yourself. Performance in life isn't about doing more. It's about noticing what you've already done. Go well. You're probably doing far more than you give yourself credit for. What's one thing you moved forward today? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Motivation #Mindset #PersonalGrowth

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Who are you without it? I once asked a professional footballer a simple question. "Who are you when you're not playing?" He went quiet. Then he said, "I don't know." That answer isn't rare. I hear it from athletes, CEOs, founders. People at the very top of their game. When what you do becomes who you are, every result feels personal. A bad game isn't a bad game. It's a verdict on you. Psychologists have a term for this. Athletic identity. A strong one helps you commit and push. But when it's the only one, injury, retirement or a run of bad form can hit like an earthquake. Because there's nothing else holding you up. The best performers I've worked with have something underneath the performance. They know who they are when the lights go off. A dad. A mate. Someone curious. Someone kind. So try this. Write down three things you are that have nothing to do with your job or your sport. Read them before your next big moment. You'll play with more freedom. Because the result can't take away who you are. Go well. Your performance is something you do. It isn't who you are. What are three things you are that have nothing to do with your job? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Identity #HighPerformance #SportsPsychology

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Why great players choke A footballer who's scored a thousand penalties in training misses in the final. A golfer misses a putt they'd make with their eyes closed. Why do the best sometimes fall apart when it matters most? Here's the click. When you've practised a skill for years, it runs on autopilot. Your body knows what to do without you thinking about it. But under pressure, you start watching yourself. "Keep your head still. Follow through. Don't mess this up." And that's the problem. Thinking step by step about a skill you already know actually breaks it. Psychologist Sian Beilock found that experienced golfers putted worse when told to focus on their technique. But when their attention was taken elsewhere, they did better. Their bodies already knew the way. So in the big moment, don't coach yourself through the mechanics. Pick one simple cue word. "Smooth." "Target." "Trust." Then let your training take over. And if it does go wrong, remember this. Choking doesn't mean you're not good enough. It means you cared, and your mind got in the way. That's something you can train. In the big moment, stop thinking about how. Trust what you've already built. What's your one-word cue under pressure? 🎯👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #HighPerformance #Pressure #SportsPsychology

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Why Athletes Use Routines Watch a top tennis player before they serve. They bounce the ball the same number of times. Every time. That's not superstition. It's psychology. Under pressure, your mind races ahead to the outcome. What if I miss? What will people think? A routine pulls your attention back to something you can control, right now. It tells your brain: we've been here before. We know what to do. The click? Confidence isn't always a feeling. Sometimes it's a sequence. So try this. Before your next big moment, like a presentation, an interview or a difficult conversation, build a 60-second routine. Three slow breaths. Feet on the floor. One clear cue word. Do it the same way every time. Pressure feeds on uncertainty. A routine takes that uncertainty away. How elite athletes use routines to perform under pressure, and how you can too. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #PeterDuttonPsychology #HighPerformance #SportsPsychology #Pressure

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Rest is training Most people think high performance means doing more. More hours. More reps. More pushing. But the best performers I work with know something different. Rest isn't a break from training. Rest is training. Here's the proof. At Stanford University, basketball players were asked to spend more time in bed each night, aiming for around ten hours. After a few weeks, they sprinted faster. And their shooting accuracy went up by around nine percent. No new drills. No extra sessions. Just more sleep. Your body gets stronger when you recover, not while you're pushing. And your mind works the same way. Pressure, decisions, emotions. They all need space to settle. That's why reflection matters too. So try this tonight. Before bed, ask yourself three questions. What went well today? What did I learn? What do I need tomorrow? Two minutes. That's it. Then switch off and let your body do the rest. Looking after yourself isn't the opposite of high performance. It's the foundation of it. The strongest performers don't just know how to push. They know how to recover. Which do you find harder: pushing or resting? 😴👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #HighPerformance #Recovery #SelfCare

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Michael Phelps' doorway habit The most decorated Olympian of all time has shared a simple habit his therapist gave him. Every time he walks through a doorway, he says an affirmation. Every single door. Think about how many doors you walk through in a day. The kitchen. The car. The office. The bathroom. That's dozens of chances to reset. And there's real psychology behind why it works. Research shows your brain treats a doorway as a boundary. A full stop between one chapter of your day and the next. It's why you walk into a room and forget what you came in for. Your brain has already moved on. So a doorway is the perfect moment to choose what comes with you. Psychologists also know that habits stick best when they're tied to a cue. "When I do this, I'll do that." The door is the cue. The thought is the habit. So try this today. Every time you walk through a door, pick one. Something you're grateful for. Something you believe about yourself. Or one question: "What do I need to leave behind?" High performance isn't built in one big moment. It's built in the small resets. One door at a time. Michael Phelps uses doorways to reset his mind. You walk through dozens a day. Which one will you use: gratitude, belief, or letting go? 🚪👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #MichaelPhelps #HighPerformance #MentalStrength

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Procrastination isn't laziness You know the task matters. You've got the time. And yet you're cleaning the kitchen, scrolling your phone, doing literally anything else. Here's why. Procrastination isn't a time management problem. It's an emotion management problem. The task makes you feel something uncomfortable. Boredom. Doubt. Fear of getting it wrong. So your brain avoids the feeling by avoiding the task. Short-term relief. Long-term stress. And then most of us make it worse. We beat ourselves up for putting it off. Which adds more bad feelings to the task, so we avoid it even more. Here's the surprising bit. In one study, students who forgave themselves for procrastinating on their first exam procrastinated less on the next one. Being kinder to yourself helped them get going. So try this. Say to yourself, "I've been putting this off. That's OK. It's just a feeling." Then make the first step tiny. Not "write the report." Just "open the document." Start small, and the feeling usually shrinks with it. You're not lazy. You're avoiding a feeling. Name it, forgive it, and take one tiny step. What are you putting off right now? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Procrastination #Productivity #Mindset

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Endings rewrite the whole story Think of a holiday you loved. Now imagine the last day went wrong. A cancelled flight. A row at the airport. Chances are, that's the bit you'd remember. Here's why. Your brain doesn't record experiences like a video. It saves highlights. Mainly two moments. The most intense point, and the ending. Psychologists call this the peak-end rule. In one study by Daniel Kahneman, people put their hand in painfully cold water. Once for 60 seconds. And once for 90 seconds, where the last 30 seconds were slightly less cold. When asked which one to repeat, most chose the longer one. More discomfort overall. But a better ending. So the way something finishes shapes how you remember all of it. That means you have more control than you think. End your workday with one thing that went well. End a tough conversation with something kind. End a training session on a drill you're good at. You can't always control the middle. But you can choose how you finish. How something ends can change how you remember the whole thing. How do you want today to end? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #PeakEndRule #Mindset #Psychology

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Holding on to summer? It's October, and today the sun's out. Blue sky. Warm on your face. And part of you is thinking, "Don't go yet, summer." That feeling makes sense. Seasons are one of the transitions we go through every year. And like any transition, it starts with an ending. Longer evenings. Lighter mornings. A slower pace. Letting go of those can leave you feeling a bit flat, even when nothing's actually wrong. The psychologist William Bridges said every transition has three stages. An ending. A messy middle. Then a new beginning. Early autumn is that middle. Summer's going, but autumn hasn't quite settled in yet. So try this. On a day like today, get outside and soak up the light. Daylight, especially in the morning, helps your mood and your sleep as the days get shorter. Then write down one thing you're grateful summer gave you. And one thing you're looking forward to this autumn. You're not losing the good bits. You're carrying them forward into the next season. A sunny October day is the perfect reminder that endings can still be beautiful. What's one thing you're taking from this summer into autumn? #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Autumn #LifeTransitions #Wellbeing

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Nobody noticed. Honestly. You said something awkward in a meeting. Or tripped on the stairs. Or your voice cracked mid-sentence. And now it's 2am and you're replaying it on a loop. Here's the thing. Almost nobody else is. Psychologists call this the spotlight effect. We massively overestimate how much other people notice us. In one famous study, students were made to wear an embarrassing T-shirt into a room full of people. They guessed about half the room noticed. In reality, it was around a quarter. Why? Because everyone else is busy worrying about their own spotlight. You're the main character in your story. But you're a background extra in theirs. So next time you're replaying a moment, ask yourself one question. "If someone else did this, would I still be thinking about it tomorrow?" If the answer is no, neither are they. Let it go. That moment you're still cringing about? They've already forgotten it. What's the one you still replay? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Overthinking #SpotlightEffect #Confidence

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Stuck? Flip a coin. You've been going back and forth on a decision for weeks. Pros. Cons. More pros. More cons. And you're no closer. Here's a trick psychologists have actually tested. Flip a coin. Heads, you do it. Tails, you don't. But here's the clever part. You're not letting the coin decide. You're watching how you feel when it lands. If you feel relief, that's your answer. If you feel a little drop in your stomach, that's your answer too. Research shows that moment of disappointment or relief reveals what you actually wanted all along. Your gut often knows before your head catches up. We overthink because we want to be certain. But most decisions don't need certainty. They need honesty. So next time you're stuck, grab a coin. Not to choose for you. To show you what you've already chosen. The coin doesn't make the decision. Your reaction does. What decision are you sitting on right now? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #DecisionMaking #Overthinking #Mindset

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Why you can't walk away You're halfway through a film you're not enjoying. But you keep watching. Because you've already given it an hour. Sound familiar? It's not just films. It's the course you hate but already paid for. The project that isn't working. The job you outgrew years ago. Psychologists call this the sunk cost fallacy. The more we've put into something, the harder it is to let it go. Time. Money. Effort. Even pride. We keep going, not because it's right, but because stopping feels like admitting it was wasted. But here's the truth. That time is already gone, whether you stay or not. The only thing you can still decide is what happens next. So ask yourself one question. "If I was starting fresh today, would I still choose this?" If the answer is yes, keep going. If it's no, you're allowed to stop. Walking away isn't quitting. It's choosing better. You don't owe your past self a lifetime of bad decisions. What are you holding on to just because you started? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #DecisionMaking #SunkCost #LetGo

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Can't take a compliment? Someone says, "You did brilliantly today." And straight away you say, "Oh, it was nothing." Or, "I just got lucky." Here's why. Your brain likes things to match. If a compliment doesn't fit the picture you have of yourself, it feels wrong. Not nice. Wrong. So you push it away to keep the old picture safe. Psychologists call this self-verification. We look for feedback that confirms who we already think we are. Even when that picture isn't kind. The problem is, if nothing good is allowed in, the picture never changes. So try this. Next time someone compliments you, say two words. "Thank you." Then stop. No explaining. No shrinking it. Just let it sit for three seconds. It'll feel uncomfortable. That's the old picture being updated. Ever batted away a compliment before it could land? It's not modesty. It's your brain protecting an old story about you. Try the three-second rule this week. 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #SelfWorth #MentalHealthTips #Psychology

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Calm isn't a personality We all know someone who stays calm when everything's going wrong. And we assume they were just born that way. Mostly, they weren't. Calm is a skill. I see it with elite athletes all the time. The ones who look calm under pressure still feel the nerves. They've just learned what to do with them. Here's the click. When you're stressed, your breathing speeds up and gets shallow. Your body reads that as danger, so it turns the stress up even more. But it works the other way too. Slow your breath down, and your body gets the message that you're safe. So try this. Breathe in through your nose. Then take a second, smaller sip of air on top. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth, longer than you breathed in. Do that two or three times. It's called a physiological sigh. It's one of the quickest ways to settle your body in the moment. You don't need to feel calm to start. You just need to breathe like someone who is. Calm people aren't fearless. They've just practised what to do when the pressure hits. Try this before your next big moment. Where do you feel the pressure most: work, sport, or home? 👇 #PeterDuttonPsychology #PsychologyIn60Seconds #StayCalm #PerformanceMindset #StressRelief

Psychology in 60 Seconds Why Reassurance Feeds Anxiety You ask someone, "Do you think it'll be okay?" They say yes. You feel better. For about ten minutes. Then the worry comes back. So you ask again. Here's what's happening. Reassurance brings instant relief. And that relief teaches your brain the worry was a real threat that needed handling. So the more you seek reassurance, the more your brain believes it needs it. The click? Reassurance doesn't calm anxiety. It feeds it. So try this. Next time you want to ask, or check, or Google it one more time, wait ten minutes first. Notice the urge rise, then fall, without you doing anything. That teaches your brain something reassurance never can. You can handle not knowing. Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Why seeking reassurance keeps anxiety going, and what to try instead. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #PeterDuttonPsychology #Psychology #Anxiety #MentalHealth

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Feeling like an impostor in a role doesn’t always mean you don’t belong. Sometimes your identity just hasn’t caught up yet. You start something new. A role, a title, a different version of yourself. On paper, you’ve arrived. Internally, you may still feel like the old you. That’s because identity changes through repetition, not instantly. The click is that the mismatch isn’t proof you’re in the wrong place. It’s often just your self-image updating more slowly than your circumstances. Give it time. Give it reps. Belonging often arrives after the evidence does. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Psychology #Identity #Confidence #PeterDutton

PSYCHOLOGY IN 60 SECONDS | PETER DUTTON STOP WAITING FOR PERMISSION We say we want freedom. But psychologically, limitation can sometimes feel safer. When someone else decides what’s acceptable, what we should do, or who we should be, we don’t have to carry the full weight of the decision. Real freedom is different. It means making choices without constantly looking around for permission, approval or reassurance. And that can feel uncomfortable. So notice where you’re hesitating and ask yourself: “Am I genuinely unsure, or am I waiting for someone else to tell me it’s OK?” Then make one small decision today without seeking reassurance. Because sometimes the thing holding us back isn’t a lack of freedom. It’s waiting for permission we no longer need. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #PeterDuttonPsychology #Psychology #Freedom #SelfBelief

PSYCHOLOGY IN 60 SECONDS | PETER DUTTON A BIG PART OF WHO I AM IS WHO I’M NOT ANYMORE We often think personal growth is about adding things. More confidence. More knowledge. More success. But some of the biggest growth comes from what we leave behind. Old habits. Old reactions. Old beliefs. Old versions of ourselves that once made sense, but don’t anymore. The difficult part is that we can stay loyal to an old identity simply because it’s familiar. So try this: “The version of me I’m leaving behind is the person who…” Then: “The person I’m becoming is someone who…” Now do one small thing today that the second person would do. Because sometimes growth isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about letting go of who you’ve already outgrown. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #PeterDuttonPsychology #Psychology #PersonalGrowth #Identity

PSYCHOLOGY IN 60 SECONDS | PETER DUTTON What situation in my life could change if I changed the meaning I give to it? Two people can experience the same situation and walk away feeling completely differently. Why? Because we don’t just respond to what happens. We respond to the meaning we give to what happens. A setback can mean I’ve failed — or I’ve learned something. Someone rejecting you can mean I’m not good enough — or this simply wasn’t right for me. A difficult period can mean my life is going wrong — or something needs to change. The situation may be real. But your interpretation isn’t always the only interpretation available. Try this: Think of one situation that’s troubling you and ask: What meaning am I currently giving this? Is that meaning helping me? What else could this situation mean? You don’t always need to change what happened. Sometimes, changing what it means changes what happens next. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Psychology #Mindset #Perspective #PersonalGrowth

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton What Is This Trying to Teach Me? When life isn’t going the way you want, the natural question is often: “How do I get out of this?” But sometimes a better question is: “If my current situation was trying to teach me something, what might the lesson be?” Maybe it’s teaching you to set better boundaries. To stop seeking approval. To let go of something you’ve outgrown. To be patient. To trust yourself. Or simply to recognise that something needs to change. Try this today. Write down what you’re struggling with, then finish this sentence: “Perhaps this is teaching me…” You don’t have to believe the first answer. Just notice what comes up. Sometimes the way forward begins when you stop asking “Why is this happening to me?” and start asking “What can I take from it?” #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Psychology #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #Mindset

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Ever notice how one small task you’ve been avoiding can sit in your head all day? The task might take ten minutes. But every time you remember it, your brain reopens it. That’s why unfinished things can feel mentally heavier than they actually are. Try this: Pick one thing you’ve been putting off and give it 10 focused minutes. Don’t aim to finish it. Just start it. Often the biggest relief doesn’t come from completing the task. It comes from breaking the avoidance. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Psychology #Procrastination #MentalHealth #PeterDutton

Psychology in 60 Seconds Peter Dutton Listen to Understand, Not to Reply Most of us aren’t really listening. We’re preparing our defence, our answer, or our next point. Try something different. Next time someone is talking to you, don’t plan your response. Instead ask yourself: “What are they actually trying to tell me?” You don’t have to agree with someone to understand them. But feeling heard can completely change a conversation. #PsychologyIn60Seconds #Communication #Relationships #EmotionalIntelligence #PeterDutton
