This is the audio recording of our monthly Zoomy Zoom with the Team Ripples Patreon Community (https://www.patreon.com/RipplesGuy for more info). This month we followed up last month's "Why Can't We Get Along" talk on polarization with a deeper dive into some of the ideas and resources we touched on previously.

The notes and links from the session are pasted below.

This episode is the audio track of a monthly Zoom call I have with members of the Team Ripples Patreon Community who support my work as a speaker, writer, and Rippler. We spent a full hour exploring how to THINK BETTER, FEEL BETTER, and DO BETTER when it comes to addressing the increasing toxic polarization that is heppening within our country, our communities, and ourselves.

4. Uncle Paul's DWSR Technique (Decide, Write, Sleep, Review)

D.=Decide: A few days before you absolutely have to decide, flip a coin to “decide.”

W=Write out the “decision” on a piece of paper before you go to bed (example: “I’ve decided to accept the job offer”, or “I’ve decided to turn down the job offer.”).

S=Sleep on it.

R=Review in morning to see how it feels when you awake. If you don’t have a strong sense that it’s the RIGHT or WRONG decision, the next night do the opposite and see if that helps.
