How To Be Heard Without Shouting From The Rooftops
- First and foremost, be willing to hear others.
- Nurture
unconditionally loving relationships. The more conditions and filters
you erect in the form of judgments, “shoulds,” expectations,
attachments, the more distance stands between you and another. With
that distance comes a muffled voice that can be ever so hard to hear.
- Surround
yourself with people who help you to feel seen, heard, and understood.
You know them – the ones who make you feel at home whenever you are
with them.
- Be willing to hear your own inner voice. It is a bit unfair to expect other to hear you when you won’t even listen to yourself.
- Practice silence. Intentionally set aside moments of stillness and silence each day.
- Spend one day committed to being the best ear that those around you have ever had. That is a real eye, ear, and heart opener!
- Ask someone to join you in authentic communication. The more you practice, the better you will get.
- Do
an attitude check if you are feeling “unheard.” Stay on your side of
the street and openly explore just what “stuff” you may be bringing to
the relationship that feeds a sense of invisibility.
- Speak from a place of love rather than fear.
- When all else fails . . . start singing (rather than shouting) from the rooftops!
