Whole man behavior Part 2
Posted by: | CommentsLook at your own relationship. What would thinking and behaving like that do for the two of you? You do that every day. It’s something I call the “sit in” philosophy. You are driving down the road and you begin to have some strong feelings. What would it be like if you said something like this, “Honey I really want to be close with you and right now because of the way this conversation is going, but I am not feeling as close to you as I would like to. Are you feeling as close to me as you would like to?”
Of course, she may replay “What the heck does it have to do with the conversation we’re having right now? I am just talking to you about XYZ.”
You continue to sort out your feelings with your loved one, because this is what we call “Whole Man behavior.” Are you just giving your pain and hurt or are you able to share your true feelings? Go into yourself and share what is inside, instead of commenting on the other person’s behavior. Speaking honestly creates warm feelings and opens you up to more conversation. Isn’t that what you want?
A woman is more responsive to intimacy when she sees you respecting her and going out of your way to make her and the relationship important. Of course, both are responsible for creating the intimacy that both of you want in your sexuality, in your communication, in your daily activities with each other.
How Are Your Communication Skills?
Posted by: | CommentsWhen was the last time you evaluated your communication skills? How often do you upgrade your vocabulary? Check, starting now, on the quality of your speech. What words do you use to get the best possible outcomes with all of your interpersonal relationships? Notice how often conflict and misunderstanding creates violence and broken friendships, because of the words we use to describe our feelings.
Your words and your voice trigger all kinds of feelings. It is happening to you now. Your have specific feelings about this message on communication. Next, observe your voice. Your voice has power. The way you use your voice is an indication of your Self-Esteem and the degree of your personal power. So use your soft voice, your normal voice, and your command voice when it is appropriate. People will be more likely to listen to you. They will also be more likely to feel comfortable around you. If they know they will be affirmed by you every time they meet you, they may want to be your friend. It is important to value the power of your vocabulary and how you use your voice to create a climate of acceptance with every person you meet.
Another communication skill is listening. Pretend you are hearing rather then reading this message. How would you be listening to this message? Would you be giving the ideas your undivided attention? Are you aware of the way you listen to people? Have you noticed that when your Self-Esteem is intact, you are a better listener?
If you want the best relationships with your children, spouse and in fact, everyone – learn to listen to everyone as if they are the most important person in your world at that moment. Be totally focused on that person, ignoring all distractions.
Next, are you convinced that your body language is a powerful communication skill? The way you stand and sit, your body movement, as well as your eye contact, affects the feeling tone you create with each person, which influences your message in a unique way.
Start now to observe your voice, your words, your body language, and finally, your communication skill of touch. Yes, touch has more power than words. Research has shown that untouched infants do not thrive or survive. The human touch has a comforting power. Its very important that we each receive this touch on a daily basis. There are many acceptable ways to accomplish this.
Touch someone today with a handshake, a pat on the back or even a hug and then, watch what happens!
