7 Communication Recovery videos
(Part of step 2 - refer to the Meaning of Life video below)
Our current Autopilot is a result of haphazard experiences in our early lives. Consequently, our listening and speaking skills are kind of rubbish (!). We want to use what works, so on this page, we update our skills by adopting the truths of a few expert communicators. Watch each of these videos (taking some notes) until you have internalized the general lessons.
i.e. Take on board the knowledge they share as your own truth.
(please ignore the click-bait titles)
We start with being able to handle difficult conversations.
This is to help us always remain untouched/ separate from any drama. Expect yourself to be able to avoid conflict from this day forward. (Jefferson Fisher)
Know 'what works' when speaking, and how far it is possible to grow.
It is helpful (and a fun challenge) to join your local Toastmasters club to become comfortable with speaking to groups. Leadership emerges here. It is all a beautiful growth journey. (Vinh Giang)
When we ask ourselves 'Why', it reveals our purpose.
Questions that ask 'why', are addressed to the heart. Consider and reinforce your own sense of purpose/ service. (Simon Sinek)
An example of transcending one's own past.
We can all identify with the felt pain of youth. The subsequent healing is our path to bliss. (Simon Sinek with Lewis Howes)
PS. Identity is a confusing term even among experts. Some use it referring to our default personality, others (me included) to our foundation of Love.
Two experts chat about optimization.
Keep up with these two, and know that you are becoming extremely skilled. They each have podcasts so it's easy. (Simon Sinek with Michael Gervais)
Masculine Identity.
Understand the gender spectrum. Then reconsider your own thinking and behavior. Learn the ways of masculinity as supported by men and women in modern western society/ the free world. (Robert Glover)
Reverse Charisma (Dr John Izzo)
Charisma is warm confidence, but importantly, its also about listening. It's your personal ability to make others feel open, safe and joyful. (Chris Williamson)
Congratulations.
If you are nicely on this path, you are open to a life of bliss.
As someone who understands higher awareness, you are one of the most beautiful, clever, and powerful people in the world. You can comfortably chat with anyone (and be accepted), anywhere and anytime, as an equal. Everybody recognizes and cherishes calm, love and respect.
Note: it does not matter how long anyone has been 'on the path', because it only exists in the present moment. A person is either purposefully aware and knowingly free, or unaware and possibly reactive and somewhat stuck.
