3 Reasons We Argue (That You Might Not Realize 1. To Win 🏆 Sometimes, we’re so focused on being right that we lose sight of healthy dialogue. It’s more about “winning” than understanding. 2. To Punish 😡 We often try to control the other person’s thoughts or actions-which is impossible! This mindset just keeps us trapped in conflict. 3. To Keep the Peace 😅 Sounds noble, right? But if you’re silencing your own voice just to avoid conflict, you might be doing more harm than good by not being true to yourself. Resonate with anyone? 🤨😝🫵 #ConflictResolution #HealthyRelationships #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth #CommunicationSkills #MindsetShift #ToxicBehaviors #WinningIsntEverything

Sometimes we are nervous at meetings, giving a presentation, when our job is on the line, when all around us are losing their heads! It can feel as if we are out of control, and we look like that too. What if, instead of feeling ‘nervous’ you reminded yourself that you were ‘excited’ about what was to come? What if, instead of worry, you decided to commit with energy to the message you wanted to convey? What if, instead of attempting to please or placate to avoid a critical reaction, you garnered your confidence and your courage to say what you know you want to say, to ask the question you’d like to discuss, to move toward a long-awaited resolution deeply and heart-felt needed between you? We can change how we feel by reminding ourselves of a word! #MindsetShift #ConfidenceBoost #PowerOfWords #EmbraceExcitement #TransformAnxiety

Don’t think of a pink panda! Did you not imagine a pink panda while reading the above line? I am sure majority of you would have! That’s the sneaky thing about the word "not". Our brains are wired to process the concept (pink panda) before the negations (not). So, when you say, "don't do this," your brain actually pictures "do this" first! But what if we eliminate 'not' from our communication? Instead of focusing on what we DON’T want, we shift our attention to what we DO want. This simple change can make us more expressive and infuse our interactions with positivity. So, the next time you're tempted to say "don't be late," — try saying "arrive on time." Feel the difference? Can you think of more such phrases?? 🙂 Post Inspired by: Henrik Fexeus #psychology #communication #psychologyofnot #mindset

🎯 This is your reminder to speak to yourself well today. Why?  🌟 Because the dialogue inside your head can shape your entire day, your decisions, and ultimately, your life. 💫 Start treating your internal conversations as you would a chat with a close friend. Here’s how: Recognize the Negative: Notice when you're being too hard on yourself. Would you talk to someone else like that? Shift the Tone: Replace harsh words with supportive, encouraging language. Practice Makes Perfect: Like any habit, positive self-talk gets easier with practice. Repeat kind, affirming phrases about yourself daily. Celebrate Small Wins: Give yourself credit for the small victories, not just the big ones. Seek Positivity: Surround yourself with positive influences that reinforce the kind of self-talk you are striving to embody. Practicing a compassionate inner voice, builds resilience and helps us find a greater sense of peace and satisfaction. Remember, the way you talk to yourself matters. Start speaking kindly to yourself today and watch how your tomorrow changes. #SelfTalk #Culture #Coaching #LeadershipDevelopment #Resilience #TalentManagement #LearningAndDevelopment #PracticeMakesProgress

You listen attentively before jumping to your own defense. You offer heartfelt apologies and then move forward. You remain unfazed by others' opinions of you. You gracefully distance yourself from toxic relationships. You admit when you're unsure about something. You accept constructive feedback about yourself without resentment.

‘If you don't have a plan, you're going to keep having the same problem’ are the words that found me. As I read those words, it made me flash to how many conversations I’ve had with friends that were just a b*tch fest. 🤔It got me thinking, instead of the complaining & the spiraling in all the things, what would have been more productive was to talk about solutions. As we’re knee deep in all the things, and the anxiety & gremlins take the wheel, we can forget that we a choice. 🗯️We have a choice on how to show up to that call. ❓We have a choice on how we allow others to treat us. 🎯We have a choice to the rooms that we stand in & those we choose to walk out of. Whenever I would start spiraling, my dear friend & mentor Stephanie Esposito would say 'the devil is in the details' 📝My friend, this is to your permission slip to know that if the thing isn't working for you, take a beat, dig into the details & make a plan. You have two choices: learn to live with it or change it & guess who has control over that: you do. #personalgrowth #mindsetshift #decisionmaking #takeaction #selfimprovement #intentionsetting #meganmiller
