Confidence Building
CONFIDENCE BUILDING TECHNIQUE
Over the last few weeks, one word has repeated and repeated itself - COMMUNICATION!
Misunderstandings based on speaking too quickly, so part of what is being said is lost and therefore misheard, as well as being misheard because there is so much noise going on that part of what is being said, is lost.
When anyone learns to drive a car they are instructed on what happens when they have to make an emergency stop. They are told that there are not only the split seconds for the brain to react to be considered, but also the time it takes for the movement of the car to come to a standstill. It may be only seconds but one second can be too much in a car.
It is good to remember that when you want to say something important to someone. They will have to change their brain thoughts from what they were doing and direct them to you. They will also have to stop or turn to connect with the subject of what you are saying, all before perfect communication can be made and both parties are aware of the truth, rather than part of the truth.
We all know that by reading different newspapers, the report of the same event will read like six or seven different events. Communication (or lack of) results in knowing if the person you are speaking or listening to, is “on the same page”, meaning is in full awareness of the facts of what is being communicated by spoken or written word.
The following are points that may be helpful to remember and as I was writing these down, I realised I too would need to remember them sometimes, just because the speed of living has increased so much, and I recognise I can say things too quickly.
All communication starts with a thought, so sometimes it is best to think before we speak.
We are spiritual beings inside a physical body, and should honour and accept that despite what the limitations of being in the physical body presents us with. This is what starts us talking to ourselves inside our head, that is having an ‘inner dialogue’. Allowing us to receive love is the same as giving love to our self. This type of communication makes us less defensive or judgemental.
Communicating with family and friends so that no-one gets hurt requires us to send out enough universal love to them, trusting they will receive those loving vibrations and understand that maybe we are different now, as everyone experiences change and therefore change. They too will have changed and we need to acknowledge and respect that too.
When we are communicating with strangers , don’t judge but smile in a way that allows the love coming from your seventh sense to, show. That energy comes back to you but also goes on to others. There is one exception, however, avoid sending out that smile if your middle says no although the times that will happen are extremely rare.
Don’t forget to talk to the inanimate objects you use most. Whatever you are working with there will be a variety of ‘thoughts’ from the ones who first began the idea with excitement, to those who produced and made it possible for you to have it. When we treat our equipment and materials well, they respond with respect. There is a homeopathic energy contained in the material, that reacts to how we communicate with inanimate objects.
Finally we should not forget we have the right and the permission to communicate with the Universe. We all have that right, and therefore no-one is better or worse than we are. What communicating with the Universe means is simply to live the cosmic laws in an active way. When you do, you find you will have everything you need (which is different from everything you want!)
