How to connect better in the continuous increase of network paradigm?
In today’s everyday changing world, we find it challenging to stay connected with connections and maintain healthy relations with all, be it colleagues, friends, relatives, family or social site virtual connections.
The demand is to be available more in lesser time and also to be attentive. Does it appear to be challenging to balance the network around you in better way? If yes, this article may help you to look for simple actions which will help you in longer run as your world expands.
1. Give Importance to every connection – There is a famous saying which quotes†Treat others the way you want to get treatedâ€. It should be a common practice to give importance to every connect in your network. A simple smile, a good greeting, a text or a call anything which requires your action should be placed at the same time you receive the information. If it is kept for later it never arrives and you may miss the opportunity to connect better.
2. Try to remember – It is very difficult to remember things in the world where we are addicted to keep notes, finding information in a click, increasing list of tasks, people, activities etc. How to remember? It is simple, once you pay attention to any particular conversation or person details your brain will intend to remember it longer. Isn’t it? The power of remembrance is highly undefined, people take it for granted to know about their connects or people and later struggle to maintain good relations.
3. Listening – A powerful tool of Human brain. The more you listen and try to understand rather than try to focus on reply will bring you closer to your people. There is lot shared on Listening skills in forums, motivational speeches, blogs etc. however if we really apply it in daily dealings, we will grow more powerful in terms of knowledge and better connectivity.
4. Train your subconscious mind to never neglect or avoid – Neglecting is a feeling any living thing in the world can feel and stay away from the individual. We run around in a world where almost all the resources are replaceable or non-mandatory for living. It doesn’t mean we can take our connections for granted and neglect when there is a need to focus on certain things. To avoid will become the reason for vanishing connections and your network will remain limited to only you. Even if you are extremely busy your sub conscious mind should be trained to balance the situation and work on your availability to response. In busy scenario atleast it should remember to act later.
5. We are Human, not Robots – Keep the importance for human emotions to manage the connections well. A robot cannot replace your feelings or thoughts or support you can provide to your family, friends, colleagues or connections. Try not to hurt people sentiments only because you don’t care or they are of less value to you (which is a myth). A successful life is the one which touch people hearts and not your iphone or ipad screen!
