S2E2 Is It True, Kind, & Necessary?

Sol Rising

Are you considering how your words and actions are received by others? Or are you saying things because, well, someone needs to say them. Do you feel like you need to have an opinion about everything?

Ginny & Amanda discuss the Buddhist philosophy of communication which suggests we put all communication through this test: Is It True? Is It Kind? Is It Necessary? Join them in a passionate conversation about how words and actions create energy and the affect that energy has on the world.

They also discuss:

• Our responsibility to make sure we are focusing on connection rather than impulsively and selfishly saying what we think needs to be said regardless of effect.
• The power of your words: It's not what you say but how you say it that will have the greatest impact.
• Tips to slow down when you feel the need to speak up immediately, specifically at the holiday dinner table.
• Emotional maturity and discipline are the two basic principles necessary for respectful, thoughtful communication.
• How this topic plays out specifically when dealing with addicts/alcoholics as well as friends and family who are in toxic relationships.
• How taking the longview about a situation can help alter or temper your response.
