The Art of Charm

Understanding social cues and nonverbal communication is arguably more important now than ever - but what does it mean to communicate with someone nonverbally, how much can you say with the delivery of words and the way you carry yourself compared to the words themselves, and why is it important to continue developing your social skills outside of dating and meeting people?What to Listen For Is dating really just a numbers game? Why is initial chemistry a terrible way of determining compatibility and what should you look at instead? Why is the 20th-century version of dating no longer applicable in today’s way of life? How can you experience something together on the first date that contributes to cultivating chemistry? Why is physical contact so important when it comes to getting to know someone you’re interested in? What should you pay attention to when it comes to flirting, and what are most people incorrectly paying attention to? How does your body language communicate more about you than what you say and how do you improve it so you don’t self-sabotage when meeting someone you’re genuinely interested in? How do you listen with your eyes and ears and why is it so important when it comes to understanding what someone is communicating? How do many of us view flirting in a conversation and how is it doing more harm than good? What should you focus on when flirting with someone you’re interested in? How do you pick up on when someone is flirting with you? What signals can you look for to know when someone is interested in you? What is the difference between negative, neutral, and positive body language and when is each one important to display in a conversation? Social skills are arguably more important now than ever because of the way we have allowed technology to augment the way we communicate. We have mistakenly assumed the words we speak or write are the most valuable aspect of communication, and as a result, we aren’t impressing upon younger generations just how important it is to communicate with eye contact, tonality, physical contact, body language, and everything else that goes along with the words we use.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

Dating has evolved due to the influence of technology and the way we communicate - but has the evolution been for the good of all, are all these options helping or hindering us, and why is it still just as important to meet face to face instead of trying to connect via text?What to Listen For How do dating apps remove the fun from dating and what can you do to make dating fun again? How do you create chemistry with someone you’re interested in? What are the three ways you can meet someone you might want to date? How do you decide where to meet new people who are more likely to be compatible with you? What are you doing to sabotage yourself every time you go out to meet new people? How do you become addicted to falling in love and what can you do if you feel you are? What is limerence and how does it prevent you from building healthy relationships? Texting is effective in 2 primary ways, so what are they and why should you avoid using it for other reasons? How can too much texting set you up for failure before meeting up with someone? The smartphone had a drastic impact on meeting new people and building connections. Texting has become the default form of communication for many, and now you can find new “matches” whenever you have a moment to open an app and glance at some pictures before swiping left or right. But meeting people through apps is just one of three ways you can expand your social circle and improve your dating life, and while texting is convenient, it is still vastly inferior to having a conversation face to face. This can put many of you in a situation where you’re always searching for that rush of meeting someone new. Unfortunately, when that rush dissipates and you don’t feel invested it can be too easy to simply find a new match, leading to many surface-level interactions instead of genuine long-lasting connections. There’s nothing wrong with surface-level interactions, but if you do want more meaningful connections then it’s important to take the time to get to know people and spend time with them in person.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

Relationships are built on trust, but that trust must be maintained over the years with intentional conversations to ensure that both people are on the same page - but how do you approach those conversations in a way that is healthy and promotes open & honest communication so that both of you are comfortable discussing uncomfortable topics?tWhat to Listen For How did Jill Coleman get into the fitness industry and find her calling? What can you do to overcome the negativity when it comes to having a public life? How many relationships actually survive infidelity? What can you look for to know whether or not it’s worth it to build a friendship with an ex-partner? What are the 2 parts to communication and why will your relationship fail if you don’t understand them? How do you stay focused on improving yourself rather than getting caught up in trying to fix other people? What is the difference between making something your fault and taking responsibility for it? What is the 3 S system to have an honest conversation about something you’re struggling to discuss? How do you set boundaries with someone when you’re not sure what the relationship is? How do you know when to have the conversation about intentions and expectations with someone you’re dating? If you’re feeling jealous or insecure about your partner, should you be honest about it? Why is it important to be able to trust yourself before you can trust other people? How do you deal with toxic relationships when there are children involved? Trust is an interesting facet of human interaction. We learn about people by having conversations with them, seeing how they react to a variety of events and circumstances, and understanding the way they make us feel. Trust is something that can take weeks, months, or years to build, can be lost in a moment, and sometimes can never be rebuilt.

Many of us tend to overlook one of the greatest sources of wisdom in our lives - our elders - but how much can you learn from one simple conversation, what can you do to better connect with your elders, and what are the secrets to a long and happy life?What to Listen For Why is it important to maintain relationships with our elders and what can we learn from them, even in a technology dominated world? Are older generations facing the same level of loneliness that modern generations seem to be facing en masse? What do the elderly point to as secrets to a longer and happier life? What is one simple act you can do every time you run into someone you know that can strengthen the bond between you two? If you’re looking for a mentor, what can you do to approach an elder you’re interested in learning from? How do you connect with people from older generations if you feel you have nothing in common? What can you do to mend broken relationships before it’s too late? What simple mental exercise can you do to develop your sense of empathy when it comes to getting to know your elders? We live in an interesting time in human history. In many cultures around the world and for as far back as we can tell, the elders in a community have been revered for their experience and wisdom. But now, if you live in a country like the United States, you have undoubtedly seen or heard of our elders being treated as if they are “extra weight” we have to live with as a society. Retirement homes and nursing homes are ripe with older generations who are treated like stubborn patients rather than the wise and experienced members of society they are.But there is so much we can learn from our elders. The stories they can tell are the stories of past lives, of struggle and adversity, and the lessons only decades of experience can teach us. Remember the next time you encounter one of your elders, that reaching old age can feel lonely for many people. Friends have passed away. Family members and loved ones might only be checking in on occasion. Our elders are an untapped resource and need our presence in their lives just as much as we unknowingly need theirs.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is one of the most effective methods to increase psychological flexibility - but what exactly is ACT, how can it decrease the suffering in your life, and why is it so crucial to leading a happy and fulfilling life, especially in this day and age?What to Listen For What is the bus driver metaphor and how can you use it to prevent your thoughts and feelings from controlling you? What is ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and why is it so effective? What one question can you ask yourself to determine why something is important to you? Why is it important to us to experience the full range of emotions, rather than just the good ones? How can you learn to appreciate negative feelings just as much as positive ones so you can decrease the suffering in your life? What can you do to turn negative feelings (like anxiety) into a guiding compass for what you want in life? What has been the biggest challenge with the way our lives have been infused with technology and what can you do to lessen the negative impacts? How dominant is the comparison of more versus less in our heads? What is the best way to start overcoming your anxiety, and why might it seem counterintuitive at first? What simple exercise can you do to transform your mental state whenever you want? Pain is unavoidable. One could argue it is the most important stimulus for change and growth in a person’s life. And if pain is that important, then having a mindset or method for dealing with pain can only benefit you in the long run. If you allow yourself to get hung up on painful moments and refuse to learn from them, then you will only increase the suffering you experience.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps individuals to shift their perspective on pain and suffering by improving their psychological flexibility. Think of it as a tree in a storm. If that tree is stiff, it will eventually snap under enough stress, but if the tree is flexible, no matter how hard the wind blows, the tree will simply bend until the storm has passed.Do you want to snap under the stress of life? Or do you want to bend, and come out the other side stronger and wiser?A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

In a world of seemingly limitless options, how can you know if a person is THE person for you, what questions can you ask yourself to determine if you’re even ready for a relationship, and how do you stop money from driving you two apart the way it does for countless relationships and marriages?What to Listen For How can you know who to settle down with in a world of seemingly limitless options? What are 3 questions to ask yourself to help you understand if you’re with the right person? Why is it detrimental to a relationship if you enter it with expectations for either one of you to change?

If you want your relationship to grow, where does that growth have to start? Why do people in relationships grow apart, how do you recognize it when it begins, and what can you do to stop it from breaking the relationship? What two factors are shown by science to be the greatest predictors of divorce in satisfied newly weds? To say relationships are complex is an understatement. We are all different, and we all have different needs and wants along with different expectations for how those needs and wants should be satisfied. This is why communication is crucial, both communication with yourself and communication with your significant other. If you want to give a relationship the best chance of success you must be willing to talk about your needs, wants, and expectations in any number of areas. Ask the right questions, ask the hard questions, and be willing to adapt and adjust to each other as you go through life.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

Uncertainty is an unavoidable part of life, and for many, it can feel overwhelming - but what important lessons can your relationship with uncertainty teach you, how can you improve the relationship with uncertainty, and what are some real-world examples of handling uncertainty in a positive way?What to Listen For How can purpose help you overcome and push through uncertainty in life when making big decisions as well as small decisions? What exercise can you start doing now to help you deal with anxiety and uncertainty in your everyday life?

What’s the best way to follow up with new contacts after a networking event? What is the Social Sales Funnel and why is it so effective at building new friendships and relationships no matter where you live? As humans, we evolved to look for patterns in order to feel more secure about our surroundings, because a lack of familiarity in the wild could mean you are not in a safe location. Uncertainty makes its appearance in the form of not knowing how something will turn out - that job interview, the presentation at work, the third date with your new crush, whether or not you’ll be able to sell the house in time, etc. The list goes on forever because there is an infinite number of events to be uncertain about, and depending on how attached you are to the event (or more likely, the outcome of the event), the more stress and anxiety the uncertainty can cause you.It is critical to your future happiness and success to be comfortable with the discomfort uncertainty brings because life is full of uncertainty and there is no way to eliminate it from your life. Start building a positive relationship with uncertainty today and you will certainly be closer to a more enjoyable life tomorrow.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

Your habits and systems determine how successful you can become, but what habits and systems can you implement in your professional life and personal life to reduce unnecessary stress and frustration while creating more space in your calendar and your mind to focus on the important things?What to Listen For What role do habits and systems play in determining your potential for success? How do you balance life and work as an entrepreneur? What is David Henzel’s definition of happiness and how can you use his approach to happiness to help strengthen your own?

How do you allow someone back into your life who used to be toxic and is clearly making an effort to improve? Balance can be a difficult goal to hit because of how often things in our lives change. Friends and relationships come and go. Work will always have highs and lows and many of us jump from job to job every few years. Money comes and goes. Our hobbies and interests evolve over time. Our bodies age and demand different levels of care from us. Throughout all of this, it’s important for our mental, emotional, and physical well being that we maintain some semblance of balance. Socializing is important, meaningful work is important, relaxing is important, working out is important, exposing yourself to new people and new ideas is important, but spending all of your time on any one of those things can lead to feeling burnt out, eventual boredom, loneliness, and any number of dire physical ailments stemming from not having a well-rounded healthy lifestyle.Follow your passion and do what you love, but don’t let the rest of your life fall by the wayside.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

If you want to pursue your own happiness and fulfillment you are bound to make decisions that confuse or disappoint the people around you, which can lead to doubt and uncertainty in your own head, so what can you do to stay focused on your goals, how do you handle the mixed emotions of those around you, and why can trying to live up to the expectations of others lead to a life of endless regret?What to Listen For Why does Jay Shetty give credit to Eminem for the way he approaches storytelling? AJ asks Jay how he made the decision to become a monk at such a young age, leaving everything he knew behind How did Jay Shetty’s fun-filled successful life in London finance compare to his modest living as a monk in India? What 3 things did Jay Shetty notice in the person who inspired him to pursue life as a monk, and why are they so important to be happy? How do you deal with the toxic people you cut out of your life before achieving some success but who later want back in once they see how successful you’ve become? Jay touches on how to handle doubt and resistance from the people you love when you want to make a life-changing decision How do you deal with self-doubt and perfectionism when you’re trying to consistently create content with a far-reaching impact? Why is it easier said than done to “Just be yourself” and what tips can you start using now to be more comfortable being you? How are your passion, purpose, and happiness inextricably linked, and how can you develop your passion into a purpose to build your happiness? If you love telling stories, how do you turn that love into full-time work? How do you curate an inner circle you can trust and rely on for support as well as honest feedback and advice? You only get one life. You know this, but many of us don’t live our lives with that understanding in mind. It’s an important idea to comprehend for one simple fact: you don’t live anyone else’s life, and they don’t live yours. If you want to be happy and fulfilled you must make the decisions you want to make and not the decisions other people want you to make. No matter what you do, there will be people who are going to question you and doubt you, which is why it’s critical you believe in yourself and make your dreams priority number one.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

How can toxic people make you feel like you are losing your mind, what can they do to turn your coworkers and friends against you, and what is the best way to deal with them before the damage gets out of control, potentially leading you to lose a job, a relationship, or even your friends.What to Listen For Why is it so important to remove toxic people from your professional or personal social circle? What two proven ways can you use to remove toxic people from your life? How can a toxic person make you doubt your decision to cut them out?

How do you go about dealing with toxic family members to remove their toxic influence on you? What can you do to deal with toxic coworkers since how you handle it could impact your job security? It’s one thing to understand the behaviors of toxic individuals so you can recognize them immediately and prevent them from getting deep enough in your life to cause any real damage. Many of you, however, might just now be identifying which of the relationships in your life are indeed toxic, and that can make it a significantly more delicate and difficult problem to address.It is crucial to approach the problem as soon as you can to prevent the toxic individuals from doing any further damage, and once you do, you must stand by your decision. Toxic people can change, but the kind of change they must go through is not the kind of change that is going to happen after you allow them back into your life just because they got on their knees and begged for your forgiveness.A Word From Our SponsorsShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.
