CLEAR COMMUNICATION

Communication, its something we all do, everyday! Whether that be talking to someone face to face, texting someone, talking on the phone or commenting via social media. Advertisements and brands are also communicating to us all the time to buy into their idea or product, essentially though how many of us really know how to communicate and I mean really communicate?

For me communication has never come that easy. I was taught at a young age that it was unacceptable to express my sensitivities or emotions and hence bottled them up a lot of the time. When I was referring to someone, I never mentioned their name as I would always assume that the other person would know who or what I was referring to. I have also denied my own feelings, saying the complete opposite to what I was really feeling in the hopes that I would convince myself or even someone else that thats what I really felt! Does any of this sound familiar to you?

I believe true communication comes from the heart, its about acknowledging your true feelings and finding the courage to speak your truth, whether to yourself or to someone else. As the saying goes, the truth will set you free and during these intense times, we need the truth more than anything. We need to stop burying our heads in the sand embrace change with courage, trusting that we are taken care of.

Speaking our truth can be hard, especially if we have been conditioned a certain way, however even offering a sincere compliment to a stranger on the street or writing a letter to someone to express yourself, but never actually send it is a great way to start unravelling whats been holding us back from true communication.

Whats been holding you back from communicating clearly and what steps can you take this way to break those barriers? :)

Lots of Love
