Communication is the imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium.
When you feel good, show it
Jump for joy, smile your widest smile, squeeze your best people, sing your favourite song, dance and show your moves.
When you feel not so good, show it
Take some time out, let some tears out, hold onto your best people, play the sad songs, reflect and acknowledge the moment.
Four reasons I work on communication:
Clear your own mind: It's amazing how much we keep inside, overthinking and generally making up our own stories which are rarely based on facts. I've found that communicating allows me to release these thoughts and control my tendency to overthink.
Let people know what you expect: Sometimes I forget that people cannot read my mind :) So if I'm not clear in communication my expectations, how can expect what to that person is unknown? Whether it be in a relationship or at work, I want to be sure that I've done everything in my power to share my expectations so that no one can ever say "well I didn't know that".
Reach a compromise: When you show your willingness and commitment to good communication, it's likely that the person you are communicating with will follow suit. This will allow you both to have an honest conversation and should lead to the most reasonable compromise being met, when needed.
Share your feelings: By sharing you are not only let people know what you want, you are opening your door to support, advice and ideas that you may not have received if you had not communicated. By sharing, you may inspire someone else who really needs it to open up.
There are many forms of communication - writing, speaking, listening, expression, art - actually any way you can think of to express a message is communication, and not all forms of communication will be ideal for everyone.
Take the time to identify how you best communicate, and then spend time mastering your form. When you can communicate clearly, life will become that little bit easier.
It’s not always easy, but it always gets better, feel your feelings and show your feelings.
Ride the wave and keep shining.
PS. Over communication can sometimes do more harm than good, find your vibe and run with it, but be conscious of your communication and it's impact on others.
