Important parts of communication..
When we talk about communication alot of people immediatly thinks soley about conversations.
This is a very common mistake, communication is so much more then just what comes out of a mouth or into a ear. I mentioned this in my last post but I figured that today we could try a little experiment in the matter if you are one of those who doesnt feel listened to.
1) Stand in front of a mirror. If you can say a meaning out loud, it could be something like "Im good enough". Something that you want others, or yourself, to belive about you.
Pay attention to your tone and your posture while saying it. Do they say the same thing as those words that you are expressing?
Do you belive in what you are saying? (If not, why would anyone else belive it?
2) Get back in front of the mirror again.
This time, take a deep breath in, straighten your neck and back, let your shoulders be slightly pulled back. Try using a bit of a deeper voice this time and say those exact same words again. How does that feel? Does it feel any different?
Since posture can totally change a vocal message (since we also "listen" with our eyes), do you belive that this might improve the chances of your message reaching through to the other person?
Comparing these two different ways of delivering a message, can you remember anytime in life where you met those two different ways before? When? Where? Feel free to share your experiences and thoughts on the subject in the comments.
Have a great day!
