Blogmas Day 7 - Say the quiet part out loud

I’ve gotten into a lot of dumb disagreements because in a moment where I thought I was clearly expressing how I felt about something, I was really just hoping the other person would understand how I was feeling based on how I was acting. But what I have learned after coming out on the other side of that is sometimes, even when you really think you’re being clear about how you feel, if you haven’t said it with your words then the message isn’t getting delivered.

Today I’m reflecting on how I can be a better communicator with the people that know me as well as anyone who may not know me very well. To help with that, I’m going to be answering this question that was featured in James Clear’s 3,2,1 newsletter:

What are you often silently complaining about in your head and who is the person you need to actually discuss your frustrations with?

Peace Out!✌🏾
