Micro-level Influence Through Internal and External Communication Patterns
How we communicate with ourselves has a ripple effect on how we communicate with others . Here are just a few ways we communicate with ourselves :
Self-talk : We know the power of positive self-talk , affirmations and positive mental feedback loops .
Immediate Reframes : As individuals who pursue continuous growth and self-betterment , we all face setbacks and perceived failures . The key is having an immediate reframe ready to shift a momentary negative mindset .
Grandmotherly Grace : We ’ ve all heard the saying that we need to “ mother ” ourselves , but sometimes we need to “ grandmother ” ourselves instead .
Visualize Success With Clear Intentions : We set goals , but do we spend enough time visualizing what success feels like when we achieve them ?
Fuel : How we nourish ourselves speaks volumes . Are you intentionally fueling your body with proper hydration , nutrients , movement and rest ? What about the messaging you allow into your sphere through the online media you consume daily ?
Self-care : How you feel is a direct reflection of your priorities . The way you prioritize your time , energy and attention mirrors how much you value yourself daily , weekly , monthly and yearly .
