Mindful Expression

I intend to take the time to communicate what “I” experience, notice, hear, see, observe or perceive rather than impulsively telling you what ‘you’ do, say or intend.  In the beginning this didn't seem like a very important distinction in conveying my truth, but I have learned over and over that in fact it is the difference between owning my own reality and judgmentally defining yours.  When I take the time to acknowledge and recognize how I express what I want you to know about me, it usually ends up I am more accurately heard and understood. 


So even though changing this communication habit may feel awkward and difficult now I believe it is worth my effort and will become easier with practice.  I want to connect and join with you today and I will do this by being mindful about my words and actions.
