Photo by mstcwebEffective communication extends beyond making a clear point. Communication is about understanding others as well as being understood. I work hard at communicating with others so I can live in harmony with the world around me.

Regardless of the type of communication: verbal or non-verbal, explicit or implied, I use empathy to be able to understand others. My speech is marked by a polite tone, a warm vibe, and carefully chosen words. I practice a healthy balance of speaking and listening.

My listening skills make me successful at communicating with others. When I listen to others, I give them my full attention without planning the next statement in my head. I pause and truly hear what others have to say before I respond.

I am able to place myself in the shoes of others. I can see the world from others’ points of view free from judgment. Even when I disagree with someone I try to understand his or her point of view.

When faced with a difference of opinion, I maintain my position while still being respectful. I diffuse tension with my joyful personality. My character is an asset to my ability to communicate. People love to be around me because of how I make them feel with my charm and wit.

Today, I am a magnet for constructive conversations. I repel all misunderstandings by being slow to speak and free from judgment. I measure my words with wisdom and listen with empathy. I speak clearly in order to help others understand what I have to say.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How can I be a better listener?
2. What can I do to improve my verbal communication?
3. Does my personality make others feel comfortable when speaking to me?

I exchange words and feelings with others in a positive and calm manner.

When I communicate with others, I first make sure that I am in a positive frame of mind. I do my best to be aware of the things I wish to convey to them.

I remove myself from feelings of anger and frustration before I engage in communications. Preparing myself in this way allows me to remain calm and communicate constructively.

It is difficult to communicate with others when they feel defensive. I am able to lower their defenses and provide a peaceful stage for constructive communication. This opens the door for others to communicate in a positive way as well.

I trust in my ability to relax. I am calm and peaceful.

My constructive way of communicating makes me feel empowered. I feel centered, strong, and in control. I know I am fair in my dealings with others.

Today I choose to communicate in a calm, constructive way that offers a peaceful environment. I remain positive no matter what happens and feel confident in the fact that I can walk away with my head held high if I need to.

I feel good about my ability to remain positive and peaceful in my communications.
