In the game of chicken, two people embark on a head-on collision course. Both participants hope the other will turn to avoid a crash and yet neither knows what’s going on in the other’s head. Communication surrounding different relationships in your life can help you “write down” the rules of the road.

By getting a clearer picture of your own rules it will be easier to set boundaries while you mesh with someone else’s. Instead of playing chicken and hoping they’re subscribing to the same set of rules, you’re confident and driving down the same country road. 

So, are you playing chicken in your relationship communication? Find out in this week’s episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out.
