Email: I communicate but often can’t be understood. What to do? (HK)
Not unique. All of us face similar challenges. Calmly, creatively communicate. Convert inner knowings into soft, sensitive, humble, compassionate voices. We have an internal filtering process to choose which parts of inner monologues get shared. Usually, based on what we consider polite, appropriate, necessary. We use subtlety instead of directness to get our points across. An innate need to avoid conflict. Share specifics clearly, concisely. Ensures it’s well-understood, no chaos.
Sometimes, what we say is based on our expectations of other people, other people’s expectations of us, what they want to hear, what we feel they should know, feelings, thoughts, ideas, goals. We assume other people have same information we’re working with, but they have their own voices, evaluating in light of their own desires, needs.
Listening non-judgementally is important. So is curiosity, honesty, inquisitiveness. Rather than trying to change, control reactions, focus on encouraging, empowering people with inspired optimism. Embrace patience, understanding. No unrealistic expectations.
With much to sift through, it’s better to communicate precisely. Minimises chances for mis-interpretations. Voicing real thoughts is an act of creation. Converts perspectives to sound energy! Carries powerful intentions. Bold, beautiful steps to manifest realities. Free from dark mental chatter. Go paint colourful desires on canvas of big, wide world.
