An Easy Change
We are a product of our environment. We each have unique characteristics and learning experiences that make us who we are. But even though that is part of our foundation, it doesn’t mean that we can’t change. There are times we need to change.
We need to change when we find ourselves feeling so negative about our job or our circumstances, that we become a person that we don’t even like! We also need to change when we do not use good communication skills, and become difficult to communicate with!
There are people that cringe at the word “change.” They feel like it is an uphill battle that they don’t have the energy for. Major change does take time and effort, but that may not be the road you need to travel today.
Rather than thinking you cannot change (because you don’t know where to start), pick one thing about your behavior that seems to be a concern to yourself or someone close to you. Let’s pick an easy one; constantly using your cell phone. If you and your cell phone have become an inseparable duo, start turning it to silent and setting it aside when someone is talking to you. In other words, devote direct eye contact and attention, to people that are talking to you.
That simple change could put you on the road to establishing more respect with coworkers, friends and family members. Give it a try. Reestablish cell phone etiquette, and just see what impact that has.
