Use Your Words

It’s funny how I expect others to read my mind and then am disappointed or hurt when they fail to do so; actually not so funny.  If I want to be understood and heard I must put into words what I think, feel and need.  Today, I will remain aware of the assumptions I make without checking them out, of the expectations I have that I haven’t communicated clearly.  I will also examine the ways I guilt myself for not always knowing what others need or want when they haven’t given me adequate information.  I will gently remind myself to ‘use your words’ and affirm my successes in doing so.
