What is Communication?What is communication?A simple definition of communication would be that it is the way that we send messages to each other. Messages can be either conscious or subconscious, because we actually communicate things to others--without even knowing that we are doing so. We communicate by talking with each other, texting each other, writing letters or emails, signing, and through our non verbal communication. There are many ways to communicate, and each person’s style is different...
Non Verbal CommunicationWe communicate with each other even without speaking. Here are just a few of the non-verbal communication techniques that we use every day:
Communication AnxietyWhile we communicate with others, there are many people who are afraid to speak on the phone, speak in a meeting, discuss something with the boss, chat with peers during break or even meet a neighbor across the fence at home.We call this communication anxiety, and the reasons for it are complicated--but reversible. For some reason (past experience, early programming), people who are afraid to communicate, fear rejection, criticism or they are convinced that they are not worthy. If you have this problem, you can overcome it. One effective way to do so is to replace negative thoughts (that cause the anxiety) with positive thoughts that convince you that communicating with others is just fine! Better Communication Skills
So, what is communication? It’s simply the way we get messages to each other. It’s the way we tell someone what we want or think--whether consciously or subconsciously. |
