Communication

I’ve been learning alot in class about non verbal communication, I said last night that I sure wished I’d taken this class many years ago.  So much of what we think is simply an “assumption” based on the triggers in our minds and what those triggers do to our emotions.  Good stuff, learned late.

Communication is the art of hearing what the other is saying (either by words or body language).  Mostly we hear what we want to hear.  This includes arguing because you think that you get mad because you hear something that you don’t want or weren’t ready for when, in fact, you were looking for that exact thing to prove you have a right to be mad.  That mouthful only applies to those of you who are fighters, some are not. Everyone has a desire to be right and to defend themselves when they think they’ve been wronged.  Relationships are a hard issue !!

Just because you think it doesn’t make it true, sometimes you need to “think again”.

I’ll leave you with this image, it is for those of you with teenagers in your house.  Remember, what they say is not always what they mean.  And, no matter what, they do love you !!!!
