Heathly Communication

When you talk with someone do you listen to what the other person is saying or are you quick to react without taking a moment to think about what is really being said? Learning to communicate healthy is important. If you feel that you lack in this area, it is a very good place to start learning new skills.

We have all kind of grown up and developed communication skills that may not be working well for us. Maybe you find that you don't express how you are feeling well, or maybe you feel that you never understand others very well. These communication problems can be worked on. You can learn different skills and different methods to try that may help you.

One of the things that get in peoples way is they don't take the time to talk in a healthy manner. People are always in a rush to get to the next conversation or errand, by the end of the day they can't even remember any conversation they may have had.

If there is an important conversation you have to have with someone find a place and time that is compatible to both and sit down to talk. Make sure that you are in a place where there can be no distractions. It is important if you are the one that initiated this that you need to begin and tell in a calm manner what it is that is on your mind. When you are done with what you need to say make sure you listen to what the other person has to say and give it a minute thought before you react. Keeping matters calm and the other person knowing that you are listening to them will make your conversation more productive.

Notice the person that is troubled and may need to vent. Offer them a good ear and listen to what they have to say. Sometimes people do not need your advice but they need someone to just listen. This is also healthy communication.

The more you work on your communication skills the more you will find that you will feel like you accomplished something very important to you. When you use healthy communication skills, you tend to leave your conversations knowing that you understand the person you have spoken with better, and that person understands you. If you don't practice those skills, your conversations will end with you questioning did I get my point across?, was I to demanding?, or maybe you didn't understand one thing that you were told but you didn't take the time to question them.

If you feel that you need to work on your communication skills then start today, it is something you can do.
