Salam Alaikum sisters🌸 Hope you are doing well.
Today short reminder about SUPPORTING OTHERS AND COMMUNICATION.
Most conflicts in the families arising because of lack of communication and non communication.
Do you have supportive communication skills?
This is a key to good relations and exactly what we all need.
4 things what no one taught us at home or school but it’s never to late to learn.
1. Listen to what is being said rather than rush with advices or start to defend.
2. Show interest by looking at the person and give time to talk.
3. Check your understanding by summarising what other person said.
4. Ask for clarification/more information.
In short don’t rush with your words or actions. Rather say: “I nee time to rethink what you just said “ and step back.
Teach your kids these communication skills.
The home rule could be: if one speaking, others listening. Everyone should be heard.
And only these all skills we can get if we become more conscious about ourselves and others.
But to see and hear another adult/ child we need to slow down.
And one more thing. Never take other people’s words personally, it’s about them, not about you. Even if other people aren’t happy about your words or actions, they more speaking about themselves and their feelings. Just none of us taught to start from ourselves. We always starting from : “You” or “because of You”.
Wishing everyone a nice day🌸. Peace in mind, soul and at home ❤️🏡
