The silent treatment is an adult temper tantrum. And this is why this episode is important. We need to become aware to this passive aggressive behavior, whether we are the ones acting it out or receiving it. The silent treatment is an inability to communicate properly and cannot pass as effective communication. If we want to be our best self, then this is a behavior that needs to be changed or avoided.
I am using this milestone today of 500 episodes to reflect how far I have come. Even though I have not made the progress I wish for, I have moved forward. We are often only fixated on the next goal, yet we forget to acknowledge how far we have come. Today is a reminder to do this more often.
The holiday season is upon us and we tend to get pulled away from our goals more. Without enough momentum, we often stall or give up. Growth comes through experiences, and we can only get them when we engage with the world. Go out and see new things. Try something new, even if you fell discouraged and unmotivated. A change or a new perspective may be all you need to move forward again.
We talk all day, more than ever, yet are we really connecting? True connection with others is one of the most rewarding aspects of our lives. Yet often we don’t don’t know how to get there. We may wait for it to happen, or we believe it to be impossible. When we learn about the different levels of conversation, we can become more aware what it takes to achieve a deeper bond with the other person.
In today’s episode: Advice from the richest man. Love cannot be bought. The only way to get love is to give it away. This is risky. This means being vulnerable. But the returns are potentially major.
When we get angry its almost like a game of ball. We have been handed a negative situation, and often we pass it on to others in the form of anger. Anger is an emotion that is personal. It is not to be shared with others; its to be dealt with on our own. By passing the ball to others, we exclude ourselves from taking any responsibility for our feelings. Its time to end that game and become more aware when unpleasant feelings arise.
Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.
Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.
