Be a better communicator, by talking to yourself

For what reason do we feel so humiliated or embarrassed assuming somebody strolls in on us as we're conversing with ourselves?

It is a well-known fact that communication is the primary factor that propels the economy on a worldwide scale. It is essential to be able to communicate properly in virtually every aspect of your life, from the personal relationships you have to the professional accomplishments you've had to your capacity to carry out everyday responsibilities.


There are a lot of occupations out there that demand excellent communication skills, and in general, if you're able to communicate well with the people in your life, you'll have more satisfying interpersonal interactions with those people.


However, communicating with someone involves much more than merely talking to them or putting down words on a page. In point of fact, there are hundreds of various modes of communication to choose from. It is essential to one's success to be familiar with the many modes of communication that exist and to comprehend how these modes may help one become a more effective communicator.


So, what are the components of effective communication? How can you tell if you are a strong communicator or if there is room for improvement in your skills? What are the many modes of communication that you need to be familiar with?



There was once a person who was 14 years old, and he wanted to become the President so he would respond to questions, he would act like he was tending to the majority, and unintentionally the majority resembled his room divider, and he would carry on like he was being consulted, and he would discuss the significance of developing a President's character and youth while he was alone in the privacy of his room.


Yet, surprisingly, winning the political decision wasn't his primary concern; it was his mother walking in on him, and he didn't believe that she should think that his child was odd. I imagine that this is something that most of us can agree on; we don't want to appear to be abnormal in any way. However, the reality is that we all have conversations with ourselves, whether they are verbal or mental.


These conversations not only provide a safety net for our thoughts and emotions but also make it possible for us to cultivate those very same thoughts and emotions.



What is the difference between merely going over something in your head and going over it resoundingly? The important thing to remember is that reading aloud will make it simpler for you to evaluate what you have spoken and will help you understand yourself better.


Now, another aspect of having a conversation with oneself that is equally as important as doing so is paying attention to what you have to say. If you don't pay attention to yourself, you don't give yourself an opportunity to reflect on what's going on in your life. In addition, the capacity for self-improvement is inextricably linked to the reflective practice of the individual.



Therefore, the next time someone walks in on you when you are having a conversation with yourself, and if they simply ask you, "Were you having a conversation with yourself?" You may say something along the lines of, "Well, that certainly is the most fruitful method to have an interesting conversation around here!"


"Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know." - Jim Rohn
