How To Express Yourself With Purpose
The way you express yourself teaches the world who you are. This expression has a major impact on the quality of your connections with others. Quality connections create productive discussions, resolutions, relationship patterns, and more. Destructive connections create destructive outcomes (e.g. misunderstandings, arguments, fractured relationships, unhealthy patterns). Take an inventory of your intentions, thoughts, and emotions. Intend to express yourself in ways that promote mutually beneficial connections. Choose goals aligned with healthy connections.
Your thoughts about another person (their actions, words, appearance, demographics, etc) determine how you interact with them. If your thoughts of others come from your love, self-control, and self-confidence, you will tend to interact in ways that create a sense of satisfaction and purpose. However, if you choose thoughts that produce fear, opposition, or anxiety in you, your interactions will most likely reflect this and create a sense of less control in the situation.
In order to have thoughts and emotions that create healthy interactions, intend to see others through eyes of love. Know they too desire to be in loving, healthy, productive connections. If the other person does not appear loving, think of their love as hidden (by fear, resentment, confusion, etc). Connect to your sense of internal peace (despite the level of chaos in the environment). Your emotions are dependent on your perspective (thoughts, attitudes, and judgments) and your ability to connect with internal peace. Choose thoughts of self confidence, and self control; choose thoughts of love for yourself and the other person. Then connect with the other person to the degree you are able to extend loving intentions. Your ability to extend love does not depend on the other's ability to reciprocate. Your ability to extend love depends on your ability to anchor your expression in loving intentions for connection.
Focusing on your responsibilities in the communication (e.g. honesty, assertiveness, reason, productivity) brings you confidence and clarity. However, if you focus on what you cannot control (e.g. the other's attitude, perspective, judgment, mood, honesty), you may miss out on potential opportunity for a constructive interaction.
You are responsible for how you see the world (your perspective) and your attitude towards it. These responsibilities have an enormous influence on your interactions. Practice the following recommendations:
