  • This is a nice introspection. Whenever I feel that my outward emotions are not aligned with my inner viewpoint, I try to think about what my outward facing actions are trying to elicit from those with whom I interact. Hopefully the reaction and response I receive aligns with what I was hoping to get from someone and with what I think. If so, then I bet I have communicated what I want.

Once I have a grasp on why I believe what I do or what it is I want to accomplish (and it always begins at the premise of my belief...if I can get there), then I feel like my outward and inner feelings align. To me, this is critical to feeling good about how I interacted with others.

    Not sure if there is any sense to be made from these thoughts, but if I follow this practice, I have found that I am able to communicate what I really feel...I think. :-)

    OK, I'm done pontificating....
