This is a YouTube video titled "Create Healthy Relationships with Open Effective Communication" created on May 24, 2013. The video features Brian Tracy discussing the importance of open and honest communication in relationships, providing advice on how to express concerns constructively and avoid misunderstandings.
A good relationship is characterized by open.
And honest communication between the two people.
Fortunately, you can learn how to be.
A great communicator by practicing telling the.
Other person exactly how you are thinking.
And feeling on a regular and ongoing basis.
Refuse to hold anything back.
Refuse to gunnysack or to repress your natural spontaneity.
If you have a concern, a problem.
A question, or anything else, be open.
And honest and clear about it with the other person.
In any relationship, because the two people are different in so many ways, there.
Will always be misunderstandings and miscommunications.
Your job, however, is to clear these up the way you would clear the kitchen after every meal on an ongoing basis. Never let them accumulate and build up.
One key to open and honest communications.
Is for you to never expect the.
Other person to read your mind.
It's just not fair to expect him.
Or her to just know what it is you are thinking and feeling.
This is simply not possible for other.
People, especially since your thinking and feeling.
Is changing with every new event or stimulus in your environment. You can't even keep up with it.
Be sure to tell the other person.
What you expect and what you're concerned about. Never have any secrets from the other person.
Never keep the other person guessing or.
Wondering about what is really going on in your mind. This can lead to all kinds of misunderstandings if you are not open and clear on a regular basis when you communicate, pick your timing carefully.
Timing can be everything in making yourself.
Heard and getting your point across.
Wait until the other person is in.
A position where he or she can.
Fully listen and understand what you are saying, rather than jumping or dumping on.
Him or her at the end of.
A busy day or in the midst.
Of a lot of activity or confusion. Timing is very important if you are.
Unhappy for any reason.
Instead of expressing your concerns as an.
Attack, instead you should say something like.
You know, when you do such and such a thing, I feel such and such a way.
That's taking responsibility for your own feelings.
For example, you could say, you know.
When you come home late without calling.
I feel that you don't really care.
About the inconvenience that it causes me.
And then remain completely silent.
When you offer your concern as a.
Personal observation and explain how you feel about it, you'll be absolutely amazed at.
How quickly the other person will respond.
Positively to change his or her behavior.
And to make sure that you're happy.
One of the keys to staying in.
Love forever is always to be open and honest and express yourself and your.
Concerns in a positive and constructive way.
Always deal with issues as they come.
Up so that you can resolve them and get on with the rest of your life.
Don't let issues accumulate.
