Communication is the one of the most important tools if you want to develop and maintain good mental health. Let us be honest, no one is ever 100 percent okay 100 percent of the time. The difference between those of us with a healthy mental mindset and those of us without is simply the ability to communicate. It is important for us to first learn how to understand our own feelings, actions and emotions so that we can PROPERLY articulate them to people. One of the biggest issues when people attempt to communicate is we often say one thing when we really were trying to say something else. Worst, our actions are not in alignment to what we feel or what we say leading to confusion. Confusion is the last thing you want to be in the middle of your attempts to communicate with someone. If you do not have a proper understanding of how you feel and why you cannot correctly explain it to other people. The other half of communication is listening. Learning how to listen is harder than it may seem. We have to learn to sit through what is hard to hear, what may hurt our feelings, what may not be true. We have to always be willing to hear others out if we expect for them to be willing to hear and understand our side of the argument. The ability to hear others allows us an opportunity to learn from our experiences. We may not see value in what they are saying however if we want to maintain healthy relationships with people weather they be romantic or platonic it is essential we disable the ability to be selfish.
