How can you improve your well-being through positive communication?

During stressful times of intense communication, remember the power of space. If things get too intense, too emotional, or you are struggling to respond, take a deep breath and say, "Hey, let's take a moment to reflect on this conversation. I'll be right back." Take a break, get out of the stressful environment, walk outside and remember that communication isn't win or lose, it is about building connections and bridges between ideas. When you go back in the room, share some of your reflections of where the conversation has been and build a bridge to the other person, "This conversation is challenging, but it is important."

I have always found that while assertive communication is identified as the most effective style, integrating it with clear and honest communication amplifies its effectiveness. Assertiveness is about expressing your own needs and boundaries respectfully and confidently, but doing so with clarity and honesty, ensuring that your message is not only received but also respected. Top tips: * Express needs clearly: Be specific about what you need or expect from others. * Practice active listening: Listen actively to understand the other person's perspective and respond appropriately. * Use "I" statements: Focus on your own feelings and thoughts without blaming or criticising others. This reduces defensiveness and promotes a more open dialogue.

I Practice Active Listening: I make a conscious effort to listen to others when they speak, without interrupting or formulating my response while they're talking. This demonstrates my respect and caring for their perspective. Gratitude: I regularly express appreciation for the people and things in my life that I value. This fosters positive relationships and reinforces feelings of loyalty. Constructive Feedback: When communicating with others I provide feedback in a constructive and respectful manner. This promotes growth and development, both for myself and those I interact with. Foster Positive Relationships: I invest time and effort in nurturing my relationships and engage in meaningful conversations that bring us closer together.

Your communication style varies with a number of contributing factors, not only your personality, upbringing, culture and experience. Some of the other factors include such things as body language, biorhythms, even the shape of the others' eyebrows! So it could be said that we switch between the different styles accordingly. Ideally to be an assertive communicator is what would benefit any situation yet for this to be always the case, we need to be more and more self aware and have the intention for clear and mutually beneficial communication

To identify your communication style, creating a one pager for yourself (and eventually also for your team if appropriate) where you collect what you observe, what you already know and what your vision is for your communication as well as feedback from your surroundings privately and professionally can support you to have a broad picture.

Aktives Zuh?ren setzt echtes Interesse an dem, was die andere Person sagt, voraus und besteht aus drei Stufen: Zuh?ren: Du signalisierst deinem Gegenüber, dass du mitbekommst, dass er mit dir redet. Dafür h?ltst du Blickkontakt, nickst mit dem Kopf oder zeigst ?soziales Grunzen“ (z.B. mhm, ja oder okay). Verstehen: Du zeigst deinem Gegenüber, dass du inhaltlich verstehst, was er sagt, indem du mit deinen eigenen Worten wiederholst, was du verstanden hast, oder die ?u?erungen zusammenfasst oder nachfragst. Gefühle verstehen: In manchen Gespr?chen kann es auch sinnvoll und notwendig sein, dass du die Gefüh-le deines Gegenübers verstehst. Dann versuchst du dich in ihn hineinzuversetzen, Wünsche herauszuh?-ren oder seine Gefühle zu benennen.

One of the most important aspects of active listening which is so very often overlooked is to check in with yourself to see if you are thinking about what you are going to say next, rather than thinking about what the person is saying! Easily forgotten if you are not a very good listener - so whenever you find yourself doing this bring your attention back to the person not yourself.

My trainer in strategic active listening always made the point, active listening is hearing to understand not hearing to respond. Reminding myself of this always me not to be afraid to allow silence in the conversation, allows me to admit ignorance if need be and still hold on to my values and ideas with integrity.

Avoid negating negatives, like: - I don’t want [negative state, situation] - I shouldn’t, couldn’t And instead before you communicate outward, process inward what you want instead as a positive outcome. I don’t want to be lonely >> I want to be loved. I want to be respected. I want to have fun, etc.

Observe yourself first and identify how you speak to yourself: very demanding, motivating, downplaying, very rational or very emotional, uplifting? Often how we talk to ourselves can also be reflected on how we talk to others. And impacts how we feel and how we make others feel. How we make ourselves and others feel is eventually what will be remembered,long after the words have been forgotten.

I am a firm believer of choosing correct words at correct place. Because words shape your character and your character shows your core values. Believe or not but we live in a glass house. Now the word play become crucial when,,,,,,,,,, something has gone against you in an organisation. Instead of showing agression by using cuss words try to use passive voice and good words in another style which donot hit that person directly but they become aware also that whatever they are doing you are been adversely affected. Never point someone while taking and by using satirical words because this pollutes the environment of office. Use positive words and speak with sincerity so that the lesser your words the greater your impact becomes.

A really powerful reframe to help reduce stress is restating a “sorry” into a “thank you.” If you realize that you’ve hurt someone, by all means say “sorry.” But there’s a different kind of “sorry” that sneaks into our language and can cause undue stress. Instead of “sorry I’m late” (which can come with a shrinking, shameful feeling, try “thank you for your patience.” Instead of “sorry, I can’t do that,” consider “thanks for trusting me with that, however I cannot…” Instead of “sorry, can I ask you something?” try, “Hi, I’d really appreciate your opinion on something. Is now a good time for me to ask you?” “Sorry” is a way of making ourselves small “Thank you” shows appreciation and shows confidence. What’s YOUR experience?

Diese Vorgehensweisen sind hilfreich, um ins Gespr?ch zu kommen oder ein Gespr?ch aufrecht zu halten: - ein freundlicher Einstieg ins Gespr?ch, z.B. mit einem L?cheln - Fragen, ob die andere Person Zeit für ein Gespr?ch hat - positive Formulierungen: Es geht dabei nicht darum, Missst?nde sch?n zu reden, sondern sie konstruktiv zu formulieren, z.B. als Wünsche für die Zukunft. - Fragen stellen: Mit Fragen bekundest du dein Interesse. Hilfreich sind offene Fragen. - Tabuthemen respektieren: z.B. Gesundheit und Krankheit, Geldangelegenheiten, Religion oder Themen rund um die Familie - Pausen im Gespr?ch: zum Nachdenken, das Geh?rte setzen lassen und neue Gedanken entwickeln - Humor als "soziales Schmiermittel", denn Humor verbindet Menschen

As I said we live in a glass house so we give a lot of non verbal ques to people sometimes knowingly sometimes unknowingly. Keep a straight eye contact with someone while talking. If someone is talking to others and you are not interested in that communication then don't just roll your eyes up and go away from there. This behaviour is childish and unprofessional

Procure compreender e n?o somente ser compreendido. Esteja aberto ao diálogo, e atentos a comunica??o n?o verbal. é fundamental entender que somos seres diferentes, nem todas as pessoas verbalizam suas necessidades.

Reading the audience, being sensitive to the non-verbal cues, trusting your inner self, remaining honest while having made sure of your research will aid you in different context and situations.

Communication is key to improving well-being and more than that listening is what wins the battle for people. Active listening is about just hearing and asking clarifying questions and leaving behind all forms of opinions and judgements. The present moment is all that matters and as we leave behind the biases the things move to equal grounds where you are capable of making better informed decisions based on the current situation this makes things even better. The strangest part about communication is listening.

Du kennst bestimmt das Sprichwort, wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es heraus. Wie du mit anderen Menschen umgehst und ihnen begegnest, hat einen Einfluss darauf, wie sie dir begegnen - meistens. Natürlich gibt es ein paar unverbesserliche griesgr?mige und unfreundliche Menschen - von denen solltest du dir allerdings deine positive Haltung nicht vermiesen lassen. Ihre Reaktion auf deine Freundlichkeit sagt mehr über sie aus als über dich. Suche dir Menschen für einen regelm??igen Austausch über Themen, die dir wichtig sind: deine Gedanken, deine Erlebnisse, deine Entwicklung, deine Gefühle. Es tut gut, Menschen um sich zu haben, die ?hnlich ?ticken“. Der Kontakt mit anderen Menschen sollte dir Energie geben und nicht rauben.

And lastly - be considerate to both yourself and the other and recognise we are not separate and we all have different and valid points of view.

Only the words that feel good within you are contributing to your well being. Swearing may be fashionable nowadays, yet it is still a negative within you. To be kind in Word and Thought to another is the only way to keep your good health. peace be with you
