Have you ever pondered how someone interprets what you say in a way that totally mismatches what you think you’re saying? You may be surprised to know that the actual words we use, the verbal component, are but 7% of our overall communication. This means that over 90% of your communication is executed non-verbally.  So even when you think you are not saying anything, you are saying plenty. You can see how there are many potential ways to be misunderstood.

In order to understand how this happens so frequently, it is important not only to be aware of the non-verbal conversation that occurs but also to look at each person’s individual reality from his or her perspective.  For example, my interpretation of the word ‘beautiful’ maybe totally different from yours.  And this is not just because many words have several subjective meanings. Our interpretation of the word comes from our individual experiences with the word or concept.  I think tree bark is beautiful because I associate it with the swirls and nicks in a tree’s life cycle.  If I’m talking with a person who has led a predominantly urban life and finds potted flowers far more beautiful than trees, s/he might find my impassioned explanation strange.

Have you ever listened to yourself speak?  Not just with another person but simply with yourself?  We often don’t realize we are constantly talking to ourselves.  Even just the thoughts that circle in our heads can be considered conversation.  Think of them as interior monologues.  How many of these thoughts do you see as productive and how many are destructive?  How often do you tell yourself something positive versus negative? Would you say to someone else what you think in the privacy of your own head? Just by focusing on particular elements within our internal and external realities, we can be aware of a different but also valid reality. We at Inspiring Purpose can help you identify and differentiate between effective and ineffective internal and external conversation techniques. Simply understanding the differences can be invigorating!

Do you know yourself well enough to understand your core values?  The concepts and things that are most important to you? What motivates you to act?  When your actions are in harmony with your core values, life is easy.  But when you’re out of sync with them, life can be difficult, unfulfilling. You may have the sense that something is off.  This usually indicates you are headed in a direction other than the one that would help you realize your goals.

Relationships are built on trust and understanding. Yet one of the most common complaints people have about their relationships is a lack of communication.  How is it possible that two people involved in a relationship can be speaking the same language, yet are not able to effectively comprehend what the other is saying?

Albert Einstein is credited with saying “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
