3 Keys to Learning Positive Intrapersonal Communications

I know the idea of 'talking to yourself' seems ridiculous. However, in today's time, it's absolutely necessary to have great intrapersonal communication skills. These skills aren't necessarily about being conceited or selfish. It's more about being able to face reality with a more calm and level mindset. Here are 3 keys that I believe helps to improve intrapersonal communication skills:

1. Don't be ashamed to talk to yourself. I am not ashamed to admit I talk to myself. I ask myself serious and/or simple questions every day that centers on my attitude, love for myself, love for God, love for my husband, love for other people, and so much more. Most times, I don't answer certain questions right away because I want to wait to see if the answer will come from God. But because I asked myself a question and God knows what I asked, He'll answer. That's why I have no shame because most answers come from God. I may give an answer to some of the simple questions but for more of those serious questions, it's a few days or weeks because I want to make sure God answers and not myself. If I answer, I may not end up with the best solution. If I give room for God to answer, I am more likely to follow the right solution.

1. Have daily, consistent reflection time. Since the start of 2018, I've been doing tons of self-reflection. I've been telling people how I spend so much time in the mirror nowadays. Not sounding conceited but being transparent and sharing the fact that I need help. I need God, I need my husband, I need my family, I need trustworthy friends, etc. I'm not perfect. I love to learn and I have a lot of knowledge. However, I still need God to supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. (Phil. 4:19) I still need protection, love, support, healthy food, decent clothes, etc. I can't survive without God and what He supplies.

1. Break limiting beliefs through thanksgiving. Each person has an idea of who they are. Most are quick to recognize their weaknesses but so many are slow to recognize their strengths. It's easy to recognize a strength with a well-known public figure because that's all the media will show. But nowadays, the truth is coming forth and recognizing that even the they have flaws. We have to break these limiting beliefs by being so thankful for what we do have! Don't take what you have for granted. Don't doubt yourself by comparing yourself to others. It's not worth comparing or competing. Be grateful for how God made you.

Love yourself enough to talk to yourself. Improve your intrapersonal communication skills. You may find it so easy to encourage others but take more time to encourage yourself. Believe me, you'll reap the benefits over and over again!

How to Transform Your Life

Have you been feeling dejected in life lately? Do you want to have a more profound life? Then get ready to exist less and to live more.

As a life coach and a keynote speaker, I believe that each one of us is meant to fulfil the individual purpose of our life. So if you want to change some significant aspects of your life to make it a better one, you need to take action today to start making alterations accordingly. Remember, it's never too late to transform your life. And although transforming your life can be extremely challenging, it can be exciting and rewarding at the same time.

Transforming your life involves going beyond the way you live. It requires immense patience and discipline to create a better life for yourself. You need to have an unwavering self-confidence in your ability to be able to make significant and positive changes in your life. If you want to transform your life, you will have to become the master of your own destiny.

The process of transforming your life starts with shifting the way that you think in. You need to change your perspective and act from a new and more empowering perspective because your mindset has the power to change your entire life for the better. Emerge out of your self-absorbed cocoon, and search for a greater purpose for your life. Welcome new acquaintances and connections into your life who give you positive vibes and helps you change your outlook towards life. Develop good and fulfilling habits to bring about the desired change.

Accept yourself for the person you are. Embrace all your flaws and imperfections and forgive yourself for your mistakes and failures. Never lose sight of yourself because you will succeed in making changes only if they come from a place of self-respect rather than self-loathing.

Next, you need to have a strong desire that will propel you to achieve the purpose of your life. If you are serious about transforming your life, determine your values and then make a decision accordingly. Once you have made up your mind to usher in change into your life, commit to it.

Start with small changes and move on to a bigger step gradually. Always remember that the smallest changes can transform who you are and your life.

But it's not until you take action that change happens. Action makes your transformation deeper. So instead of procrastinating, start early and give each of the steps the time it needs. Every action leads to results and it is the result that finally helps you transform your life.

Lastly, be grateful. We generally tend to take the gift of life for granted which leads to pessimism and then to depression. So learn to be grateful for the things that you have instead of cribbing about what you don't. Gratitude opens doors for you and helps you welcome better things into your life.

The journey of life is never a straight line for anybody. Your life will have its own share of highs and lows. Failure and struggle are synonymous with life. But always keep in mind that the prerogative to change life for the better lies with you. It starts and ends with you.
