The Value of Practicing Kind Communication

What I love to say about my body of work as The Kind Communicator is this... it's not about being nice. It's about speaking directly, clearly and thoughtfully and quite honestly, that's the hardest thing for many of us to do.
So I bring you this quick article that values kind communication, not from a kind point of view, but from a consistent point of view and here's why:
The more clear you are, the more calm you are and the more balanced you show up and speak... on a daily basis, trying and working towards a place of poise and honesty, ethics and morale, the healthier and happier you will be.
This is not about being nice, because nice can be steam rolled. Nice can be walked all over and nice can also be fake. Trust me, I'm a yoga instructor and I see sooo many fake yogis. I also have a strong intuition and have seen the dark magic of wolves in sheep's clothing that people transform into and now that I have such a deep sense of kind communication as a habit, I am calm and free and I can 'see' the vibes of people just by being around them.
The calm that I feel in chaos and the storm from the storms that I've witnessed in my life has inspired me to continue to promote workshops, keynotes, my new course and one on one sessions because it elevates us to be the best person we can be without having to worry about other people- because they may not be at the level that we're at.
Other people may not have the tools or want the tools, so it's up to you, dear one, to truly take kind communication into consideration and make it a part of your life so that you can elevate your speaking and listening skillsets to a place of such calm, that you're floating. I know it sounds magical, but it's possible and you will get upset, you will get angry, but with the teachings that I create and coach with your teams, you will overcome those emotional reactions allowing yourself to see them, understand where they stem from, and learn about what you can do so that your anger is not carried; and those that cause you anger carry their own distress.
The value of kind communication is not about being nice. It's about being clear and direct with yourself. This, as a habit, will develop your self-awareness to the point of knowing who you are as a human being. And if you practice this at 40, you're gonna have a healthier, happier life living through your 90's and 100's with less regret and more love.
