Communication is undoubtedly the foundation of all relationships; without it, there is no hope for a successful and healthy future with someone. Pretty extreme, right? Well, whether this statement is referring to a romantic relationship or to one with a friend or parent, it is crucial to begin to exercise and practice this. So, what is communication? Communication is the way to avoid or fix problems, as it is the pathway to understanding someone’s perspective. I have seen a lack in communication in my generation. Maybe it’s because of social media, hiding behind a screen we feel more inclined to “tweet” out about feelings instead of talking them out.
One thing is for sure, however, I have noticed a trend. I’ve seen many people simply disregard the problem, keep their pride high, act unbothered, and move on. I am guilty of this, as well. Why is this an issue? It’s quite simple- when we speak our minds, we are able to address problems and work from there. If these issues are never brushed upon, they will not only stay, but will eventually develop into more serious complications. “Ok, so I just blurt out how I feel when something upsets me, right?”, wrong. There is a method to approaching communicating the “right way” in order for it to be successful.
I have yet to meet a mind reader. If you want something or feel a certain way, you have to let the other person know. Without communicating, nothing will get solved. If talking things out doesn’t work, at least you tried. In that case, take mental notes on how the person dealt with the confrontation, as it will help you in the future with that relationship and others. Staying quiet, however, is not the way to move forward with someone, as this is quite detrimental. If you really can not build up the courage to speak face-to-face, write a handwritten letter; those are always appreciated. Whatever you do, communicate.

During our last gathering, the ladies of the MGS Sister Circle shared their struggles with grieving loss. Through the materials we shared, we came to understand that grieving does not only apply to losing someone to death. It also applies to the loss of who someone was to you or the loss of their functioning in their life or relationship. The Sisters shared personal experiences of how they were able to grieve and how they continue to struggle with making sense of their loss. Some even came to realize that they are in a perpetual state of grief as they struggle with understanding the loss of who their loved one was to them even as they fear one day losing them to death. One of the more effective ways that we discussed of working through the loss involved letter writing. Specifically writing a two-way letter; one to our loved and one back from our loved one with how we imagine they would respond. The other way was through offering and accepting support from others. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a hug!

So as our journey drew to an close, the ladies of the MGS Sister Circle found that they had challenged themselves to explore areas that had become sensitive to the touch. They had challenged themselves to look beyond the surface and explore the deep hurts that they have covered for so long in order to find their highest self. They grieved unrealized dreams and goals and were inspired to set new ones. They were able to recognize that accepting who they are, where they are, does not mean that they had given up. The Sisters challenged themselves to perform random acts of kindness for others, and more importantly, for themselves. By doing all of these things, they individually and collectively took a step towards SELF-ACCEPTANCE. And while we recognized that our journey to self-acceptance as a group had come to an end, individually each would continue to their pre-destined end…their HIGHEST SELF. I honor each of my Sisters for being open, willing and vulnerable and for allowing us to travel this road together. Until next time…Be Well.
If you are interested in beginning your own journey to self-acceptance, but are afraid to travel alone, contact Shari at (754) 999-0716.
