on your way in
Conscious Communication
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today’s guided insight centers around having the courage and compassion to talk TO people directly, rather than talking about them to others. Throughout the day let us focus on being self-aware and mindful of what information or news we are sharing and with whom. Our ego may feel a sense of satisfaction by gossip about someone or sharing inappropriately but the consequences can damage your most important relationship. Have the courage to choose differently today and not gossip. Instead, directly address the issues with the other person involved in a transparent and compassionate way. This is the first step to building trusted relationships with the people in your life.
