I recently had a conversation about how sometimes we can be totally unaware of how we are perceived. On one hand how others perceive us may not be considered important or something of value. But on on the other hand it's incredibly useful information. It can highlight where we need to work on our communication … Continue reading The importance of perception

You cannot not communicate
I've recently been pondering on thoughts about communication that I'll share as some journalling prompts: Who do you communicate best with and why?

The expectation to be considered isn't one that I'd want from many, but when someone tries to convince you that they do consider you, if their actions don't align then it's justifiable to let them know how you feel. You don't have to 'go off!' at the person and make things dramatic. However, it is … Continue reading Considered
