COMMUNICATE WITH YOURSELF





communication is something that we all do everyday. communication is the sum of all 
the things one person does , when he wants to create understanding in the mind of another.
It involves a systematic and continuous process of telling , listening and understanding .

effective communication skills are critical to achieve professional and social success . but have you ever considered that, in addition to being able to communicate successfully with others you need to learn to communicate effectively with yourself first. this type of communication is known as intra personal communication. 

it is believed that the power of self love is greater than any other relationship . after all you are there for yourself through thicks and thins , no matter what . the term self is a powerful word , because during a difficult circumstance , when all our doubts , fears and insecurities 
wrap ourself we always come up with the idea of " I don't know who I am ". we look at other people and start to hate and envy them for having a sorted life and wish we could trade places with them , while they look at us and thinks the same. its like grass is greener on the other side and we are insecure of other people who are themselves insecure of us. 

One key to know who you really are is to LISTEN and TALK to yourself! yes, talking to yourself is the best solution , you can introspect and question yourself without judging yourself . before advising people on how they should improve themselves we must know who we really are and what makes us better person , we then inspire others people and then rest of the world will follow .

So, I am a person who loves to spend time with myself as I say " me time " but for many , the idea of being alone maybe uncomfortable one . spotting someone enjoying a movie solo or spending Friday night in elicits pity , since we tend to associate solitude with loneliness or isolation . but, without such solitude , we are bound to be more stressed by the constant busyness of life , the massive amount of information we made through everyday , and the energetic demands of being around other people .to enjoy time alone is to know ourself better and feel less pushed around by the expectation of others .

The " tranquility " that solitude provides can also lead to better interpersonal behaviour and relationship . In teenagers the social platform like Instagram , snapchat , WhatsApp etc . have become the major part of their life and without going in the outer world these social platform are their means to interact with others socially,  most of the people have forgot what its like to enjoy life without putting stories of every minute of the event and in the mean course we have forgot how to spend time with our loved ones and even with ourself . Reality is what is lost and on social media . we emphasise the best versions of ourself instead of real version of ourself . and to stop this you need to focus on things that really matters like YOURSELF . we need to stop comparing ourself with others take time out to introspect ourself . by being free from social interactions and their constrains , one of the most common experience derive from solitude is creativity and time to explore values and goals without interference or distraction .

Intra personal communication , used effectively provides the right balance , orientation and frame of judgement in communicating with the outside world . when you will start to love yourself you will get a break from constantly trying to keep other people happy and you will stop looking for validation . 

As , Mahatma Gandhi said " happiness is when what you think , what you say and what you do are in harmony " this " YOU" creates a very important meaning in your life because you are always there for yourself .
