Signs of a mature woman for me: - takes responsibility for her behavior instead of justifying it with her emotions - doesn't gossip about others simply for leisure - can speak clearly about her needs - is not obsessed with social media - doesn't overdrink - is conscious about her flaws and works on improving them - takes her health seriously - can be empathetic towards men's issues Most of these are pretty much valid for men too
I do not think that man should try to get into the womans cycle. Supportive? Yes, but mature woman must be able to communicate how she needs to be supported. Expecting from a man that he will try to understand your vagina world is just crazy. Unless you marry a gynecologist 😂
Point #2. The burden of LISTENING to a man when he expresses his feelings is also extremely important. If he expresses his feelings and the woman DISMISSES him, he will never share his feelings again.
A woman listening to her man should not be a “burden”. If she views it as a “burden” you should seriously evaluate if you want to be in a relationship with her!
@cygrnus618 Do never ever ever share your feelings with your GF. The woman lizard brain wants a strong man that will protect her. If you show here how you are weak and sad and overburden - there's no coming back from this. When a woman says "you can open to me" This is a TEST! She wants to see if you are weak.
Can we all agree that a mature woman also isn't obsessed with social media and doesn't post bikini pictures? In fact, all you say is equally important for men and women.
For me a few signs of a mature woman is one who doesn't condemn the entire male population for they way just one man wronged her. Another is not acting like the rules and laws don't apply to her simply because she's a woman. Support womens' rights, but not their wrongs.
Also, the woman needs to take accountability for picking the *bad boy* and then is SUDDENLY surprised that he abuses her and could care less about her feelings. You reap what you sow.
A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient.
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white..
A reminder her husband pulled her via red pill ideology. And had a RU-vid channel about watches- both social media obsessive. Plus she studied in Italy about nothing related to dating- she’s never dated an overweight man, short man, man of color, man with no money, etc- so what sensible background does she provide? Remember, watch what women do, not what they say. Also have receipts if needed
people often say men are like children when in love, i am in love with a 40 year old man and we are very happy, he is really funny always makes me laugh, he is also very childish but i like that
@@MindDisorI was going to say, I think you might be lying to yourself. You explicitly chose that sentence to share, means you’re a little concerned without admitting you’re concerned. He might be a fantastic guy, but us men truly need to mature and be MEN!! @babonestoic
I don't think that they exist anymore. They are mostly vapid attention fiends that worry about Keeping up with the Kardashians more than having a stable relationship. I'm done with self fulfilling prophesies. If a woman has an issue with a certain behavior, pay attention. She's likely using that very method to do you dirty.
Once upon a time it was my wife's time of the month and I went grocery shopping. There was some chocolate, red wine, midol, and feminine products among the groceries. The young woman bagging the groceries laughed and asked me "do you want me to put this all in one bag so you can just throw it in the house?".
1. stop being on your phone 2. emotionally mature and sound. 3. know female cycle, period. 4. stop drinking , makes you seem dependent on self-harm vices 5. dont hide your phone if youre in a serious relationship, seems hella SUS
Lol they're on their phones more than we are, they'll lose their minds and key your car if you make them mad enough, a study that came out recently showed that they're drinking more than we are now and ask her for the password to her phone some time and see how that works out. Just more hypocrisy
She never said stop being on your phone or stop drinking. Just don't be addicted to social media and don't be alcohol dependant. Hiding your phone from your partner does look very suspicious, but I can tell from the context of your response that you lack the emotional maturity to understand where she is coming from...so really I don't know why I'm bothering to engage with the comment but hey ho, I'm this far so I may aswell just send anyway. 🤦♂️
This goes both ways. Only mature women do these things: -Not obsessed with social media. Doesn’t need attention like she’s 14. -Communication without entitled attitude. -Doesn’t expect men to read minds about her issues due to her period. -She is not over drinking or even drinking. -Does not hide the phone.
Her: no hiding your phone unless you have nefarious things going on. Also her: no going through my phone unless you're an insecure control-freak. Whatever.
Before my uncles wife of 12 years cheated on him and ran off with her dickhead boss her noticed one unusual thing: her phone. Her damn phone was always with her and she’d NEVER let him use it no matter what. Yes, that’s def a red flag.
As a french speaking, I love your accent and your English. Listen to your channel is a double gain for me: improve my English and learn interesting reflexions on man and woman relationship. Thanks a lot!
Hrm. Conversely, a woman does not get access to my phone on the false premise of "if you're innocent, you have nothing to hide." Nope. It's "innocent until proven guilty" not "presumed guilty unless you get to rifle through my stuff." A mature woman knows this. Everyone else can take a hike.
Yeah. I could agree with everything else but that point. Sounds to me like some major trust issues on the woman's side. Anytime I've voiced that and gotten push back from a woman, it's crickets or beatboxing when I ask if the man is allowed access to her phone as well.
yes having acces to once phone is having acces to goverment stuff and more. this can be very fragile. you hope your on the same page forever but once it doesnt this can be very destructive and things can get very ugly
On women's cycle; presenting a double edged sword, women should get empathy during the cycle period, but NOT a blank check. Bizarre behavior, infidelity, "fits" are an abuse of men regardless of where she is in her cycle. If they can control themselves in public, then they can keep it reeled in at home. A woman on her cycle NEVER has excuse to see herself as a hammer and her mate as a nail sticking up during this period. NEVER. This video is about men's maturity. Mature men DO recognize the hormone driven tendencies of feeling ill, cramps, bleeding, etc. Agree that it is good for a man to 'love up" on her in non-sexual ways for a few days. It is not a blank check for women to act in manipulative and outrages ways and then blame it on her cycle. Women are still 100% responsible for what they say and do during this time.
@@LinkinVerbz44 They will. Most women are not a big problem on their cycle. At times it bothers them cramp wise more than others. They are actually mildly ill but may have associated significant pain. I'm not showing the hand to them for that. It's when old settled issues get thrown back into play, or throwing shit, name calling, lost their frigg'n mind indignation that I won't tolerate. Or at least WILL NOT give waiver too because of menstrual period. It's a huge red flag. Fortunately for me the women I date are passed menopause. Good luck with all that.
Yeah that sounds like a character flaw and emotional immaturity in her, and not her period or cycles fault so yes red flag if she is blaming it on her period to avoid accountability because that’s not how periods work.
An ex wanted to go through my phone and she brought up an exchange that I had with a friend (I was not cheating or being unfaithful). She had the conversation with me about how she felt and everything. Once we finished, I then had to tell her that we had to go our separate ways. She was confused but I could not keep looking over my shoulder every time she got a hunch. 🤷🏾♂️ (also we had not established ourselves to be ideal matches for one another). Wanting to go through a phone is your reason to break up with someone, not whatever you find in the phone.
I found one who liked mature men. I married her. We're still married after 30+ years. If you want that for yourself, keep looking, and you will find. They're still out there, and they want to find you, too.
some of them get burned enough to outgrow that phase. They can find a mature man who embodies the best aspects of a 'bad boy' like confidence, reasonable amounts of dominance and aggression and a devil may care freewheeling attitude etc but not the bad aspects like being inconsiderate & selfish and rude.
I think it says more about trust that someone thinks they need to go through other’s phones than not allowing it. I’ve never felt the need to go through someone else’s phone. I’ve never allowed it.
Point 2: I have worked on this over the years: Communicating my feelings to a romantic interest without a negative attitude even if my vulnerability has been taken advantage of in the past. No simping. Yes to Authentic kindness and determination. Thank you Courtney!!
26 year old dude checking in here, just wanted to pop in and say thank you for making these videos. I have been watching for awhile now and always like to reflect on how I can be a better man for myself now and how to be a better partner when that time comes in the future. You are one of a few channels I watch on here so its nice to sit and reflect and make sure I’m staying on track. Thanks again! I also read the comments from the ladies on here too, again really good insight. I feel like this is a good channel to get a unbiased view on eachother and just learn how to better communicate with eachother. Best of luck to you all out there!!
You can easily have fun in life while at the same time being accountable, responsible, in control of your emotions, and taking the lead. All of those are maturity, it is not immature to enjoy hobbies or having fun. That is something the sour women are envious of because they are far too controlled by the emotions to let go and have a little fun. Women that are run by their emotions and have no control over their emotions because they don't understand them are simply overgrown teenagers which explains the envy of men who can enjoy things in life
I consider green flags in girls to be someone that; - Are kind and warm. Not just to me but to others as well - warm and kindhearted -Empathatic and considerate - Positive and happy - Can communicate and dont play mind games - Non dramatic and don't play full of games - Red flag is someone who has to many guy friends and someone that loves attention and speaks to several dudes all the time
She's gonna get bloated, she's gonna get bitchy, she's gonna get emotional, and blood will come from her uterus. That's really all you need to know about it.
They are never bitchy around you, (seen them pull this off for years) when they are trying to bait you in. But once they have you, that time of month makes them bitchy. It’s an excuse, yeah they might be uncomfortable but I’m 100% sure they don’t use it as an excuse in front of their boss for 40 straight years. My wife spent 2 years chasing me just to get me to ask her out, her time of the month didn’t exist on the outside that whole time. Fast forward to marriage and now she has to act like a bitch the whole week ahead and the whole week of…amazing how that works. Excuse for bad behavior
Absolutely! I’ve seen videos of OBGYN’s claiming that oral contraception is safe. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have side-effects. I’ve heard more than one woman complain about those.
I deleted social media recently. I realized a couple of things. One, is it didn't bring me any happiness, like EVER. Two, I couldn't really learn anything from it. Things like twitter, insta, and worst of all Tiktok destroy nuanced thinking - something our society is lacking more and more. Unless you're running a business or building a brand, I highly recommend asking yourself what you gain from social media. For me, it wasn't much - and all of the people I want to talk do I can just text or call. I'm way happier now and I waste less time.
I have not gotten rid of it, but with people posting right-wing propaganda, whining about their personal lives, etc., I tend to ignore those things. Aside from that, it's not bad to use them for contact with others. The most I do is post quotes or memes.
I think it's mostly a distraction, but depends who you follow that you would find content that is helpful or not. I have learned things thanks to it, it can be educational, depends who you follow...
No to the first one, touche on the second. She had me wondering about that one. Kind of like when she criticizes men who take selfies, something women do all the time, especially in bathrooms (a practice that I find baffling).
My girlfriend isn't on social media and only uses messenger and WhatsApp to message her friends. She is absolutely drop dead gorgeous but never wears makeup bar special occasions and absolutely HATES selfies and taking photos of herself. She is very modest and can't see what I or every other guy I know sees. She's very sought after and is also the most mature woman I have ever met. She's 21! She's also the most attractive girl I have ever laid eyes on and has an extremely modest 28F bust, slim waist with juicy bum and takes great care of herself 😮 Safe to say I am punching lads but trust me, these girls are out there! Very rare though and took me some 15 years of dating to find a woman like her. I'm 33 and landed a 21yo blonde haired blue/green eyed natural bombshell scientist (yep, she's a bit of a nerd too and really intelligent). I got lucky. But chin up, you can too! Patience, friends, patience.
Thank you so much, Courtney, for these videos. They have been so helpful for me; a middle-aged man dating women who are younger than me. I have been a fan of yours for quite a while now. Please keep doing them!
Did the podcaster say phone password? No one gets my phone password. Theses days phones contain information that back in the day would be in a locked draw. Bank details, insurance details, tax returns, work documents etc. and most people use a similar password/code for all their apps. I'd unlock my phone and let my partner go through my social media etc but free reign to access everything on my phone, no way.
A woman wanting to go through my phone to see if I’m texting other women, would be a sign of immaturity. It makes me believe she is projecting. Ill start asking questions like, she is cheating on me or has been cheated on in the past and is projecting her Ex’s misdeeds onto me. Also, them asking “what privacy” shows how out of touch they are. As if people aren’t trying to steal information off your phone. You wouldn’t question someone locking their car door. Why question someone putting passwords on their phones?
Most women are completely immature. They never truly grow up emotionally or psychologically past the age when they started getting attention. So a mature guy makes them feel inadequate and self conscious. They choose immature bad boys because they are at their level and they can have fun. Notice that when a mature man puts boundaries on the relationship, the girls starts acting like tantrumy teenagers.
I need a Courtney Ryan 2.0 in my life. Seriously. Any takers 😊 thank you Courtney for all your content. I discovered your channel about 6 weeks ago, im always learning new things on how to reinvent myself as 31 year old man and also understanding women’s needs wants desires turn on turn offs - the list goes on. Thank you for your hard work dedication and passion. Big love from the UK 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Communicating your feelings too early, right on time and too late all land you getting dumped so don’t ever do it. Women are intrinsically self centered to the point of severe narcissism. They have no room to empathize with you. None.
I will literally use this tactic if I'm talking to a girl that I no longer think is right for me. Rather than hurting her feelings and telling her that she's not my type, I'll just pour out my feelings to her. Almost 100% guaranteed to get ghosted
I had an epiphany one night while watching cops; nothing good comes from drinking. Dudes be so drunk and cops let em go then they try to fight the cop after then end up in jail with felonies lol
Courtney, I'm a subscriber and wanted to let you know how entertaining and informative your videos are. I am 70 and single, not "navigating the dating pool" at all. Happily single and not looking. But it is fascinating to watch your videos and learn what other people are up against. I was never good at dating to begin with, in the olden days. I can't imagine having to do it in the 21st century. Thanks for the enlightening content.
@CourtneyRyan @6:24 I genuinely think this would be a very helpful video. talking about these sorts of subjects from a very mature and 'matter of fact we're all adults here' sort of way is something that's hard to find online. my vote is yes on providing a video for men from a woman's perspective on what happens to her and what she wants/needs/expects from her man.
Totally amazing. No tattoos, clean looks, no odd piercings, minimal makeup, no tattoos, clean clear language which includes minimal slang - articulate. You are a unicorn.
On the subject of phone and privacy. I've been single for a while and have certain habits when it comes to my phone. The access code to unlock it is a minimum of 9 digits. If the pass code is incorrect 3 times in a row, it wipes the phone and resets it to factory default. I travel periodically, so, this was mainly prompted by TSA rules. It is on silent most of the time and I ignore it, turn it off or leave it in the car depending on where I am (church, theatre, work, or out having dinner). Yes, I ignore my phone during meals. Those are intentionally developed habits that have reasons behind them. For that to be regarded as immature says something about the observer.
I can’t help but think there’s a mold or blueprint on how women want their men but that also comes at the expense of personal freedoms or uniqueness that makes that person who they are. Maybe it’s just me but it seems really boring to live life in a vacuum and not have some sort of individual expression.
Men have molds and blueprints as well. This is why people say that compromise is important in a relationship. We all have our needs and desires which aren't going to align. What makes male/female relationships so much more beautiful and distinct from others is the fact that two polar opposites can come together and grow love, even when all the "science" and "studies" try to prove that men and women can't get along and would be happier being alone/gay or whatever.
Once again, I agree with everything you said. So glad you said those things about the phone. I place my phone face down even when I’m alone so it’s not a distraction. I can see the light change of a text out of the corner of my eye. Used to drink more & agree with your assessment. It is more socially acceptable here in WI as a normal way to enjoy life so I’m not judging! And I also think mature communication, without becoming hyper-emotional, is key to a good relationship. She should be able to bring up things about me, or challenge me in loving ways, without it becoming a fight and vice versa. It’s even helpful for personal growth. Great vid!
Coincidentally... the girl I've been dating for two months, and I, were driving and needed directions. She didn't have her phone on her (that impressed me), so I handed her mine. I told her my password so she could navigate freely. She told me that she wouldn't remember it. *In light of this video, I feel even better about her and about our relationship.*
Being off of social media (outside of YT) has been great. I am a lot more productive and goal oriented since being off of sites like Facebook, Twitter, and IG.
Yup. Am also a lot more *Productive* and *Disciplined* without it. Will even (not necessary) but sometimes take 1-2 Months off the Network for Detox. And already don't drink. Don't Own a TV either. Would even encourage (if you struggle at start) to start learning an Instrument, Language or.. Start a new sport (Mountain climbing, Football, Archery etc.. ) it'll help to stay *Motivated*
@@Real-Name..Maqavoy Very nice, I have one year of sobriety under my belt. I hardly watch TV these days and have started to read more books. I have a guitar now and started playing ice hockey again too along with meditation and yoga. Social media really keeps people away from their true purpose.
Honestly it's so interesting to me how much I agree with you on everything. I dont mind a difference of opinion, but I will say it's extremely rare for me to share every opinion with someone on youtube!
"Fling around like pizza" 😂 I love you, Courtney. I agree 100%. Buzzword. And this is a great video! Gentlemen, learn about women! My wife said one of the reasons she married me is because I brought her into my bathroom one day a couple months into dating and showed her the wicker "moon time" box I got her and filled it with the pads and tampons I noticed that she used. She cried and said I was the first male in her entire life to not make her feel shame for having a period. Now my son keeps pads/tampons in his car, too. Normalize normal!
8:37 THANK YOU for being a fair voice of reason on here. I appreciate how you put the integrity of your nuanced advice above any attention-provoking simplistic hot takes.
Mentioning a man’s compassion for a woman’s menstrual cycle is a huge indication of maturity. Personally, I’ve had a couple incidents where “her monthly friend” peeked its head out while we were making love. Of course, naturally, she apologized to me for being human. I did not guilt trip, shame her, or even suggest that she should feel insecure about what happened. She when to the bathroom to clean up and the night went on. A woman’s body should be cherished as well as the biological processes that occur within that body. Besides, if she’s having her period, that’s a good sign. I wouldn’t be upset about that. Be nice. If it happened to us men, we would want the same treatment of kindness. Enough said.
@@BryceShamwow A man being feminized and highly sensitive and emotional like a female is not an indication of his being in possession of a good woman. And a man being masculine, stoic, confident, and cavalier is no indication that he is not in possession of a good woman. Rather, the latter guy is the one that more attractive women are drawn to. Not the former. Nice guys finish last for a reason. And there truly is a simp epidemic. 😷 Gotta mask up so I don’t catch what you have.
That woman from the Tik Tok was ridiculous. Hearing women complain about men on their phones and social media is like a man complaining about women playing video games or watching adult film content. Total projection!
*Being able to stay calm under pressure, take responsibility, and communicate openly shows true strength and confidence. Women definitely notice men who have their priorities in check and don’t get caught up in drama!*
When a woman is in her cycle i also show empathy to her and show affection and am mor tollerent of her moods and words basically show her I understand to an extent. And I support her
I'll add one of the basic things a mature men (besides being chivalrous), we don't play stupid games with feelings and have no space to be played with those games, as we spot one of them, they will be rooted out and no way back. Yes, that "respect" that is cited on almost any post about relations, we men value a lot and few women get noticed about. There's no way back from be treated with disrespect by the woman by our side, our woman, love, wife, maybe mother of our child, etc... you got the point.
Literally. If my wife/gf is so insecure she needs to know where I am 24/7 or requires looking at my “underwear” then the relationship is full of resentments. She’s wrong. What’s time of the month? Menses? 😂
5:51 I'll leave looking into a woman's cycle up to you ladies. I'll just be emotionally understanding in that we all go through things, and im here support you. We as men already do enough just trying to get women.
A mature woman doesn't overreact. A mature woman isn't highly emotional. A mature woman communicates effectively. There are more but that's a good start...
A mature man is not on social media, liking girls pics... But I'm sure she thinks it's fine that women post bikini pics or yoga-pants-in-the-gym pics. And the phone "privacy" thing too. Does that woman tell other women that they need to give their man all of their passwords too? I have no idea, but I suspect she's not preaching this equally from both sides.
I've never met a woman who could communicate her feelings in a proper mature way. It is ALWAYS accompanied with yelling, attitude, meltdowns etc. Also, whenever I tried to communicate my feelings to my wife, she stopped me in my tracks and told me that my feelings were nothing to do with her, she didn't want to hear it and I should deal with my feeling myself if I was a man. Women really need to grow up and it would be nice if they treated men in the way that they would like to be treated themselves.
Just be a better version of yourself and find a woman that has common interests as you. For example, she doesn’t like video games? Move on because there’s women out there that do.
These Tiktok podcaster girls live in a bubble where they think there's a perfect man out there with no single flaw and they put that "perfect" man on a pedestal and preach to their audience which are also like-minded girls and create this toxic environment where they just echo off each other. No wonder dating has become pretty much impossible these days because everyone has crazy unreasonable expectations for each other.
@@chrismoore9997 Nope. Imagine having a partner that's always looking into your private conversations with other people on your phone because he or she is afraid of cheating. Imagine living like that. Having a partner that distrusts you and it's always thinking you're up to no good. That paranoid psychoptic behavior. Do you wanna a partner like that? Do you wanna a paranoid partner who will read your converstions with your mom, your friends, your coworker, your e-mails?
Women are nosey. Every girl I have been with went through my phone without my consent. It's definitely not okay with me, but handling it non-reactive is the best you can do. They were honest with it too that they saw something in my messages. They'll probably not do it again when you have the civilized, logical talk but... whatever. I said my piece, she gets it, if she believes or not that's not up to me. Being a man is that you can just trust yourself all the time and not care for those who don't
Ms. Courtney grabbing the chair arm at the time of the month comment was hilarious xD Very interested in a list of what Mature Men do from you. Keep up the good work!
Well, first off, a mature woman won't ask for her partner's password on his phone, social media, email, etc. I have always found this behavior as a red flag. I hand my phone over to my partner anytime she asks. She has not once in 7 years ever asked to go through my messages or social media. And that is a hige green flag. A mature woman doesn't allow her emotions to drive her behavior. A mature woman is equally as invested in growing and sharing responsibilities. Together we make good money and share expenses. I make more so I pay more of the bills but this allows us to have plenty of money to spend on whatever we want for ourselves without compromising our monthly budget. Immature women don't operate on this level.
You do know people also have digital life right? If she’s your life partner she deserves to know others parts of you. What if your digital life is creepy and sooner or later it will hunt down the whole family?! If you have to hide something from your partner you shouldn’t have it at all.
@matusala8322 Yes, of course, most of us all have a digital life. The point I'm making is, for us, we don't feel the need to ask for each other's passwords. I have friends who operate differently and share everything. And to be honest I've never been in a relationship where my gf asked me for any of that information. And that's because I don't give any reason by acting shady.
You are incredibly wise for a person who is 28 years old. I look younger but am 49 with kids “almost” your age. I only share this information to highlight what a huge compliment it is.
Thank you for addressing the phone boundaries thing cutting both ways. Also, it REALLY depends how far the relationship is. Is it 2 months in or are you talking about potential engagement/marriage? Those are pretty different places for most couples.
Good video. Going over someone's phone: It comes down to trust. And if you don't trust the person you are with then you shouldn't be with him or her. As you say it's all about communication. You need communication, respect and trust for things to work. I agree with you.
Is it possible that we can get a podcast over relationship manners between loved ones? I would be glad to listen and learn over how to communicate and commit to the very special person I am with. Also, how to sustain the relationship in the long run. Thanks Mrs. Ryan for the excellent content! 😃
Definitely would like to see a video in what a woman goes thru during that time of the month, since in your words it would explain so much of how she feels and her actions, all the iOS and downs etc. we want to understand, that’s why we’re here watching your videos.
my reverse list for women: 1 respects boundaries 2 doesn't yell and can also take constructive feedback 3 is productive with their time and doesn't just read books and do nothing else 4 isn't crass 5 can take a joke 6 realizes that when having a hard time, it's not his fault and understands everyone has difficulty I grew up in a toxic family and everyone else around me expects me to marry girls who don't do the above. So this video was irritating to me to watch even though I would happuly do my best and then some to do these things for the right girl.
im married i dont go through my wifes phone, she doesn't go through mine either the mindset is i dont need to look through your phone to tell if your cheating on me or not your energy changes you cant fake energy
Aside from the "time of the month" this list is fully applicable to women as well. Men don't want a woman who hides their phone, get plastered at bars and parties, communicate via hints and mind reading, and never stop scrolling on social media. This is hardly unique only to men and is about being a good partner or companion.
Absolutely, make a video specifically about the female cycle. A commentary on the different ways that it can be different for different women. And a play by play commentary of emotions, libido and other effects that it can have through each stage of the cycle. Thanks!
As a man who has had many problems with dating over the years and seen all kinds of good and bad advice, this video is a piece of very balanced and solid advice! She is not promoting any extreme views or cashing in on the insecurities of a niche that just want to hear what they like hearing. Very mature!
A word about phones. I started leaving my phone on the nightstand between 5:00 (end of workday) and 10:00 (bedtime) and it’s done wonders to my focus on my family, my hobbies, and overall life satisfaction. It was definitely a little hard at first and I had my lapses but I finally got to a place where I just review texts the next day, address them in one batch, and move on.
Agreed, my phone is face down to give attention to the person across from including family, friends, colleagues, clients, and dates. If it’s face up then I’m likely in a time crunch, waiting on a call, or wanting to wrap things up.
