Let’s play Tennis
The phrase “The ball is in your court” comes from the concept of tennis. This is important when building relationships. You volley the ball into their court and then it is their turn to volley back. Stepping on their turn takes away the natural ability for the other to respect your play and return back.
In past situations, I have always been afraid of that idle time. I know that I got going a lot and I still make time but that doesn’t give me the right to discredit what the other person has been through or is going through at the moment. It also gives optimal time for the other to take ownership in taking the next step.
This revelation has been big for me and I’ve been enjoying how this has given me more time to focus on myself and allow for the universe to dispel negativity and settle into positivity. If you react too quickly, you risk adding to the negativity even if that is not your intention.
Let that space do that work.
Going into the next week, this is already the last week of the cohort program and we had to have a draft tokenomics prepared. I wrote this up on Notion. Access it here and let us know what you think.
This week’s Aesthetics is the below image for our first Skylark event
Corresponding Prompt: Ninja running through fire, with orange skies.
This is another example of how Skylark can add value with pre-defined prompts and user input data.
This platform has been out forever but I finally took the time to see what I could get out of it.
Typeform - I used to think this platform was just for making surveys. I didn’t appreciate not being able to know how many questions I had to answer anytime I was sent a Typeform survey so I always felt Google Forms was better. This week changed that for me. Typeform is a powerful tool for all types of data collection/engagement. I highlighted Meiro a couple of weeks ago and this is more powerful. I will continue to see how we can leverage this, especially with the integrations and ability to embed.
“Playing Tennis” - Monroe
“Building a relationship is much like tennis. Leaving space for each participant to take their turn is key for a number of reasons. Here are 10 below:
Building Trust: Trust is a fundamental component of any relationship, and taking turns in conversation helps build that trust. It shows that you're willing to listen to your date and respect their thoughts and feelings, creating a safe space for open communication.
Getting to Know Each Other: Dating is a process of getting to know each other on a deeper level. Taking turns allows both individuals to share their life stories, values, interests, and goals. This exchange of personal information helps you assess compatibility and potential long-term prospects.
Establishing Emotional Connection: Effective turn-taking fosters emotional connection. It allows you to share your vulnerabilities, which can lead to a stronger emotional bond as you both feel heard and understood.
Discovering Common Interests: By taking turns discussing hobbies, interests, and passions, you can identify commonalities. Shared interests can create a sense of unity and provide opportunities for future activities together.
Balancing the Conversation: In dating, one person dominating the conversation can be a turn-off. Taking turns ensures that both parties have an opportunity to speak, making the interaction more balanced and enjoyable.
Assessing Compatibility: Through turn-taking, you can explore important topics like values, life goals, and deal-breakers. This helps you assess whether you're compatible and whether the relationship has potential for the long term.
Resolving Misunderstandings: Misunderstandings can arise in any relationship. Taking turns allows you to clarify your intentions and feelings, which can be crucial in resolving conflicts or misunderstandings early on.
Demonstrating Interest: When you actively engage in conversation and take turns asking questions and sharing, it shows that you're genuinely interested in the other person. This can boost your date's confidence and make them feel valued.
Avoiding Awkwardness
Remember that dating should be a two-way street, with both individuals actively participating in the process of getting to know each other. By taking turns and engaging in meaningful conversations, you can create a strong foundation for a successful and fulfilling romantic relationship.”
Taking a break this week on the House music…well not exactly, we have a bonus track below but this week’s focus is the release of Magic 3, the last album of the 6 releases in 3 years by Nas and Hit-Boy. I Love This Feeling is my favorite track at the moment. Check it out!
Enjoy!
Until next time, keep on seeking balance!
