HuffingtonPost.com just published one of my latest articles. It begins:
“When a beloved one passes, it is natural to mourn. We all do so in our own way, and that must be respected. Some mourn for a long period of time with immense agony and emptiness. Others may stay strong and shed quiet tears alone in the night. It is not ours to judge how another mourns. Yet there are some aspects of death and mourning that can be helpful to know…”

Entrepreneur.com just published another one of my new articles. It begins:
“Wilhelm Reich, a colleague of Sigmund Freud, laid the foundation for five classic personality types which, to this day, are well recognized in the field of psychology. Dr. Reich actually identified the body builds of these five types first, and then identified the personality types… By knowing about and working with these five classic personality types, you can understand yourself better and become more effective at working with others…”

HuffingtonPost.com just published one of my latest articles. It begins:
“When I make a point or explain a concept, people often request scientific studies or objective examples in order to prove the point is right. Shockingly, it seems they believe that truth lies outside of oneself. Most of life—our feelings, morals, ethics, and values—transcends provable points and mechanical logic. In that sense, truth is found within ourselves, not by looking out to the objective world. Whether we deem it as truth or not is weighed on the scale of our own inner, moral fiber…”

Though it’s tough to admit, if we could take a step back and look at difficult situations we encounter, we would realize we are creating our own problems. “I knew that guy was unhappy, but I just didn’t want to deal with it. I had enough on my plate as it was. After all, it was clear to me that I was right. I just figured he would be able to sit down, think about it, and come to his senses. How wrong I was. He even went so far as to hire an attorney and declare war! A great deal of time, stress, and money later, he finally backed off, but the relationship was compromised and there was, of course, no apology. If only I had had a heart-to-heart conversation with him, the whole hassle might never have occurred”…

When in conversations, it can be quite eye opening to ask the listener to repeat what was just said and visa versa. Very often, those two statements are very different. Such misunderstandings, accumulated over time, can severely harm relationships. Striving for clear communication, clear understanding, requires that we respectfully and sincerely speak up when something said feels hurtful or incorrect. It is also important to remember that the tone with which something is said, often carries more meaning than the literal words that are used, not only by the speaker, but also by the response of the listener. Anger, resentment, and negativity are not the place to speak from in constructive conversations. Holding such emotions in until they finally explode through words, tone, and action is as unhealthy for the relationship as it is for our physical and psychological health.
To speak from the heart is important, but that does not mean it needs to be flowery. It merely means to, when speaking, remain in touch and in harmony with our soul, with our depth, with the place that lies deeper than impulsive reactionary emotions. Being able to do that when emotions run high can be very difficult, but is essential.
There is a place of wisdom within us all. We do well to strive to speak in harmony with that place. That can be done in even the most objective conversations. Heartfelt understanding is the essence of effective communication. Effective communication is the foundation of healthy relationships.

HuffingtonPost.com just published another one of my new articles. It begins:
“The association that gets tied to a word can take on more significance than the actual meaning of the word. The word “meditation” is a prime example. Many people hear the word “meditation” and think of a person with dreadlocks sitting in some sort of trance. Fortunately, society is coming to realize that this connotation is far from the truth…”

When feeling tension in a relationship, find a way to address it.
Trying to dance around or ignore a tense situation allows it to grow stronger over time.
Because addressing a tense situation can be uncomfortable, we tend to avoid it.
Timing is essential when you address a tense situation. Find the right time…

In spite of what may be our desire, life is not a road map we follow. It is a journey into the unknown.
As we plan our future, we all too often take comfort in establishing a fixed path. Staying open may feel like an uncomfortable place to be. It may even feel like it goes against every fiber of your being, yet it is the path of the wise…
