 Improving communication skills

--

Improving your communication skills will positively effect all of your relationships. The most important tenet to remember is to communicate the truth, clearly and gently- with love and kindness. 

How many times have you experienced misunderstandings and conflicts based on a lack of good communication?   Remember to share your thoughts and feelings with your loved ones regularly. If you do not share the truth of who you are, how will people really get to know and understand you?  Also, when you loved ones are sharing something, make an effort to listen intently and reflect back what they are saying. If you are unsure of something, don’t assume, ask questions.  Demonstrate genuine interest in getting to know your partner or friends, by taking the time to ask them what they are thinking, feeling and if there is anyway you can be helpful.

There is an age-old saying that says, before speaking ask yourself these 3 questions- Is it kind? Is it true? Is it important? When the answers to these 3 questions is yes, and you communicate in a loving and gentle way, you know you are on the right track towards better communication.
