“If in 90 days I want to be in a relationship, what are the things I should do that give me the best likelihood?” asks Dr. Paul Eastwick, PhD, a psychology professor and a leading expert on the modern science of mate selection in humans.
And he answers: “ I'm embarrassed to say my field can't answer that question. So, in the absence of that kind of specificity, my answer is always just be around people on repeated occasions.”
Earlier, Dr. Paul Eastwick explained the importance of small groups.
What he says applies not only to romantic relationships. Starting a business, entering an unfamiliar market, or writing a book are all examples of making contact with novelty and building a long-term relationship with it.
The beginning can feel discouraging. It is not clear how to approach IT.
You're trying to know too much in advance. Don't. It's better to let the new thing reveal itself in its own time. You only need to spend more time around it. Give it your undivided attention, free from expectations.
Cuttings from a money plant are not placed directly into a pot. For a month, they root in water. Some will sprout, some won't — and you can watch the whole process calmly through the glass of the jar.
Let us remember the key words: live contact + regularity.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
