Speak with Purpose: True, Necessary, and Overly Kind Communication Recovery Daily Podcast
-
- Mental Health
In this episode of Recovery Daily Podcast, I talk about intentional communication. Drawing inspiration from the wisdom of the 13th-century poet Rumi and insights from Socrates to Mary Ann Pietzker, we explore how asking three critical questions before we speak — Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? — can impact our relationships.
I discuss how to cultivate a communication style that's been effective for me in conveying kindness. I dissect each element of this communication strategy, examining how truth, necessity, and kindness can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce the need for making amends later.
Join me as I share personal stories, including a revealing social experiment on kindness that highlights the challenges and rewards of being kinder than what feels natural. Learn how simple practices like pausing before responding, expressing gratitude, and performing random acts of kindness can change the dynamics of your interactions, lower general stress level around you, and enhance your emotional well-being.
Whether you're navigating recovery, striving for better workplace relations, or strengthening relationships with friends and family, this episode offers valuable insights into making every word count for a more compassionate and connected life.
