There is a quote that says:
"The quality of your communication is the quality of your life." Anthony Robbins
Does this ring true for you at all?
What did Anthony Robbins mean by this?
Well, as social creatures, we humans desire to connect with and have positive interactions with each other. When we connect with each other in a meaningful way, it satisfies our social needs and makes us feel good. Research has shown that having a strong social network can reduce the negative effects of stress in people, both young and old . On the other hand, loneliness has been linked with depression and chronic health problems. So the social aspect of our lives is crucial to our well-being, and when it is absent or lacking, it can affect our overall quality of life.
Now, we're going to guess that if you have purchased this book, then your lack of effective communication has gotten to the point where it is starting to impact your quality of life.
Maybe you've always been quieter and more reserved, and communication has never been a problem for you in the past because you've always had people approach you first. For example, you may have always had things like school and sports to connect you with others. But now, as you've gotten older and the opportunities to connect with people over such shared interests have dwindled, you have found yourself in a bit of a communication 'pickle.'
You have come to a point where you've realized that if you want to make any new friends, or you want to ask that attractive person out on a date, or if you want to build your professional network, you desperately need to work on your communication skills. This is a dilemma that is more common than you realize. The number of self-help books on this topic alone tells us that it is a very big and very real problem.
The wonderful thing is that effective communication is indeed a skilland like any skill, it is one that you can practice and get better at. If you are committed to improving your communication skills and follow all of the tips and suggestions in this book, then you WILL notice improvements in your communication.
Can you imagine how it would feel to:
Be confident in yourself when you meet new people, whether in your personal life or professional life.
Be able to know whether someone is interested in talking to you or not.
Be able to approach someone and just know what to say.
Be able to make small talk and keep the conversation going.
Be able to navigate a conversation that goes horribly wrong.
Be able to move your relationships from surface-level ones to deeper ones.
Well, soon you won't have to imagine anymore, because in this book we will be teaching you exactly how to achieve all these things, and more so that you can take control of your social life once and for all.
Chapter 1
Communication Skills Are a Necessity
"Communication works for those who work at it."
John Powell
If you have read the first book of our Mindnatic Series, Detox Your Mind Now , then you'll know that we stand firmly with John Powell's idea that communication can be learned mastered eventhrough effort and consistent practice.
Think about any skill you have picked up in your lifewhether learning to ride a bicycle or drive a car. Can you recall the steps you needed to take to be able to master that skill? Let's take the classic example of learning to ride a bicycle. First, you probably learned with training wheels. This was a challenge in and of itself because it was something new: you had to learn how to move your legs in a particular motion to make the bicycle move at all, even though the training wheels made it secure. But then came the next step, taking the leap of faith and trying to ride without the training wheels. Maybe your parents were still there to supervise you, which was your security net, but you probably toppled over a few times and grazed your knees before you had mastered riding a bicycle without training wheels.
The point is this: you didn't just go from not knowing how to ride a bicycle at all to having mastered this skill immediately (and if you did, then kudos to you!). It took practice, and this is how it is with communication too. You start with the basics, build up your confidence, and before you know it, you'll have learned how to communicate with ease. It will become second nature, just like riding a bicycle or driving a car.
If you struggle with communication, you can rest assured that good communication simply does not come naturally to everyone. Even those super extroverted folk who seem to be natural people magnets have their own shortcomings when it comes to communication.
Think about someone you know or have met who has absolutely no filter, who just says whatever pops into their mind without thinking. This is the kind of person who notices that you've gained a few pounds over the winter and has no problem telling you that you're looking a bit 'chunky' these days.
