We believe in talking to each other about everything, from the joys and fears to the sadness and the wins.

Communication isn’t just about talking.

It also happens in the way you make time for each other, whether that’s during a walk, making each other coffee in the morning, a smile, a laugh, or the hug that you don’t want to end.

If regret is the enemy of happiness, and inaction is a source of anxiety, then a bias toward action becomes one of the simplest paths to happiness.

One important note: Happiness is not dependent on success.

Action doesn’t guarantee success.

But it does reduce uncertainty.

It creates feedback.

And it builds agency.

The people who move tend to worry less than the people who wait.

We talk about building agency in your relationship and health every Tuesday and Friday.

We had some quick observations while at Costco around sheds and yard work. #IYKYK

The best way to define high agency thinking is to imagine a tricycle because it has 3 wheels.
.
.
And high agency individuals have 3 traits (*breakdown provided by George Mack, @george__mack, highagency.com):
.
1. Clarity
2. Bias to action
3. Disagreeable

High agency couples need the same thing. And that’s why we publish Sync & Thrive. It’s a journal for couples building more agency into their health and relationship.

Italy gave us the idea. Our neighborhood became the practice. @aaronpatelzick and I walk to dinner once a week and it has become one of our favorite rituals.

Your partner’s obesity risk is your obesity risk, their depression risk is yours, and their recovery is yours too. This is biology and a shared environment working in both directions. The only question is whether you design it together or inherit it by default.

The Sync Quiz™ was built around the four pillars that have had the biggest impact on our own marriage: Movement, Connection, Fuel, and Resilience. It takes three minutes and shows you exactly where you and your partner are strong and where you are out of sync.

This is where you start. 👇

We have been happy in our marriage, but we were not taking care of ourselves the way we deserved. We had different ideas, different fears, and very different timelines. What finally got us moving in the same direction was not a program. It was a decision, made together, to stop waiting for the perfect moment.

We are still on this journey together. If you are too, welcome. You are in the right place.

Most couples are already running on shared habits yet do not know where they are actually out of sync on their health until someone asks the right questions. If you are ready to stop waiting and start designing your health together, that is exactly why we created the Sync Quiz™.

It takes three minutes and it shows you exactly where to start. Link in bio. by @aaronpatelzick

Aaron and I have done our annual doctor visits and lab follow-ups together for years. It keeps us honest, keeps us on the same page, and means that when something shows up in the numbers, we are already there to figure it out as a team.

Is this something you and your partner do? Would it be something you would consider doing? 👇 by @aaronpatelzick

Yesterday, we added something new to our weekly date nights. A cheat day that still got our steps in.

Instead of driving, we walked. We have a local outdoor mall about two miles from the house, so we made it our destination. We skipped the direct route and took a detour through a park and a neighborhood of cherry trees just starting to bloom. It added more steps and more time together.

That’s what our Walk and Talks are about. We work together, so most of our shared time during the week fills up with logistics (what’s next, what needs to happen, what we’re building). The walk strips all of that away; our heads clear, the conversation slows down, and we get to just be with each other for a little while.

It has quietly become one of our favorite parts of the week.

Seriously, though, if you haven’t done this with your partner yet, try it. It’s one of those small things that gives back more than you expect. by @aaronpatelzick
