What we perceive is what we believe.
What we hear it translated by our past experience.
It is valuable to know our intention before we speak.
It is helpful to have some knowledge of the other.
It is useful to be clear about the desired outcome for the words spoken.
It is healthy to clarify what was actually heard by the receiver.
Some key questions for each communication:
What is the intention of this conversation, phone call or text?
What do I want to other to receive from me?
How do I want the outcome to be?
Do I need to listen first or share first?
Is this communication for a specific purpose?
Do I want to be helpful or demanding, positive or negative?
Do I just want to dump my own toxic material and hope for the best?
Am I here to bring calm or disturbance?
Do I want to share love or fear?
Stop before you speak and ask, “What is my desired outcome?”
When you make a mistake, it is always helpful to apologize, forgive your error and learn what is better.
Let’s respect and appreciate each communication and the words we use!
Thanks for caring,
