Emotional Communication: What Are Your Words Really Saying?

The FinerMinds teams shares:

Do your words convey an acceptance of responsibility for your feelings and actions, or are they unwittingly laced with blame and maybe even portraying a victim mentality?

In this insightful 3-minute video, co-founder of the Chopra Centre, the late Dr. David Simon, discusses how much our words – whether intentional or not – can create a hostile or defensive response; hampering our communication skills.

Listen to the video to learn how you can honestly convey your feelings, while accepting responsibility and not placing blame.

It’s a tug of war…

Blogger @davidkanigan used the phrase ‘tug of war’ in a recent post and it reminded me of this Paul McCartney ballad — a forgotten favorite that you may have missed. The accompanying images of Paul and Linda made me nostalgic and the lyrics are actually quite good [and understandable]. Enjoy…

It’s a tug of war
What with one thing and another
It’s a tug of war
We expected more
But with one thing and another
We were trying to outdo each other
In a tug of war
In another world
In another world
We could stand on top of the mountain
With our flag unfurled
In a time to come
In a time to come
We will be dancing to the beat played
On a different drum
It’s a tug of war
Though I know I mustn’t grumble
It s a tug of war
But I can’t let go
If I do you’ll take a tumble
And the whole thing is going to crumble
It’s a tug of war
In years to come they may discover
What the air we breathe and the life we lead
Are all about
But it won’t be soon enough
Soon enough for me
No it won’t be soon enough
Soon enough for me
In another world
We could stand on top of the mountain
With our flag unfurled
In a time to come we will be dancing to the beat played
On a different drum
We will be dancing to the beat
Played on a different drum
We will be dancing to the beat
Played on a different drum
It’s a tug of war, (a tug of war, a tug of war)
What with one thing and another
It’s a tug of war
We expected more
But with one thing and another
We were trying to outscore each other
In a tug of war

Sometimes When We’re Feeling Sad…

Sometimes when we’re feeling sad, it’s important just to feel the sadness. Like a snake shedding its skin, old feelings of remorse and regret and hurt and anger often have to come up in order to be released.

Don’t Judge A Situation…

See on Scoop.itLiving Business

Don’t judge a situation you’ve never been in. -Mitchell Perry

Todd Lohenry‘s insight:

In my experience, people who judge have judged themselves and have pronounced themselves guilty — judging says more about the judge than the ‘judgee’. Not only do you not have the right to judge, but not judging and allowing others to be — in the same way you simply want to be able to be — will bring you more peace in the end…

The Dalai Lama on the Ultimate Source of Happiness

Tara Lemieux shared this:

“So inner peace is the ultimate source of happiness, joyfulness.”

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama (in an excerpt from the film “Dalai Lama Renaissance”) provides a simple view of inner peace, happiness, God and money.

And, it’s not what you think it is.

Why do I practice compassion?

It’s not for the “him,” or the “them,” or the “they”—it’s for me, and to bring inner peace to all of my days.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to speak to a group of interior designers about how to become known on the Internet. It was one of the most enjoyable presentations I have given in a long time because 97% of the audience were lovely females from co-eds at UWSP to practicing interior designers, but I digress…

Many people in this audience were new to social media and it quickly became clear that the primary focus should be what’s the least amount of tools and work I can do to get started in the social media space. The conversation around that topic inspired me to come up with the following diagram and the explanation that follows it. I hope you find it useful…
