There are an infinite number of conversation styles. We are all unique and each day is different. We speak different languages and have lived different lives. Even when we speak the same language - we can feel connected, at times, and at other times, we can feel disconnected. Why is that? Does it come from inside of us, or is it because of the way the other person is speaking? Or how they are listening? We may want to think about why we feel at ease when talking with one person and uncomfortable when talking with someone else. We may notice how this can change, day to day. And year to year. I think it's worth thinking about how we like to speak, and what kind of conversations we enjoy. What do we like to talk about? And.... What do we do when we don't have anyone to talk to? Could we CREATE a space to express what we want to say? Even in English?! Maybe today is the day when you begin a journal. Maybe today is the day when you pick up your phone and leave yourself an audio journal entry. Or start to write in your phone. Maybe today is the day when you start to become better friends with yourself. Why not turn your phone into a friend who always listens? A friend who doesn't judge - and who understands English?! Why not give it a try? What do you have to lose? (Side note - to help make it easier - try pretending you are sending a voice message to a friend. Or write in your phone but pretend it is a text to a friend. In truth - that is what you are doing. The friend is you are writing to is YOU.) #FutureMe #Podcasts #CulturalDifferences
