You Just Have To Listen

If we rewind a generation or two, life was definitely more simpler though physically difficult. At that pace, devoid of digital distractions people turned toward each other and actually communicated.

Today, we are racing through days in pursuit of making life better not realizing that life is happening around us, right now. This race distorts relationships and when few words would heal the wounds, people deepen the communication gap.

All the means are there and yet?

The reason is more walls have been built in our minds as we journey through life.Exposure, education, and global travel have aided evolution but it has also reduced accommodativeness. This in turn stumps communication.

Well, what does communication mean to you?

Definitely not the written and verbal words alone, but much more. Body language, tone of voice, physical gestures, eye expressions, and the most powerful of them, silence and listening

Healthy communication builds bridges of growth, while bad communication acts like a storm to break the bridges.

Communication stoppers can arise from ego, fear of getting hurt, apprehensiveness about rejection, vulnerability, and just a feeling of closing up.

So better communication is not about learning better techniques, but to first work on the inner problems that plague it. The techniques come next.

Erasing the devils in our minds cannot be done in a day but needs constant work that can come from affirmations. In the pursuit of something bigger, affirmations make you understand that the pursuit itself is what matters. Listening and conveying your inner message, can turn life around for you.

When the mind is already riddled with multiple angles of life, visual cues and words for sure

Makes you take a pause

Makes you communicate to others in the way you want to be communicated to

Reminds you to reach out when it is most needed

Heals the silence that hurts

So, reach out and give the hug to those who matter to you. It is the sweetest communication of all

Stay affirmed
