These communication exercises will allow you to hear your inner dialogue more clearly, quiet your mind and open your self to a new and exciting way of communicating. They will help to develop essential skills for communication success.
As with all the Life Mastery Skills Exercises, it is highly recommended that you read (or listen to) the introduction first before starting the exercises.
Introduction to Communication Skills Exercises
Essential Skills for Communication Success
All relationships depend on communication. It is vital to realize that our primary relationship is with ourselves. All other relationships are secondary to this primary relationship. The quality of the communication we have with others is totally dependent on the way we communicate with ourselves, about ourselves and others. This inner dialogue will determine whether our communication with others is positive or negative.
If we believe the world is a hostile place and we keep repeating this in our mind, then this will mold us into a person who does not trust others and speaks guardedly rather than openly with them. This belief will also create us to be alternately shy and aggressive with ourselves and others. As we begin to develop a positive inner dialogue with our self, we begin to feel worthy of having positive and supportive relationships with others.
Communication Skills Exercises
We recommend you start with the free communication skills exercise first. A Communication Skills Module is also provided containing further exercises for those who wish to delve deeper into developing their communications skills. This module provides ten exercises for developing your communication skills as well as a complete Glossary of Terms. It can be purchased at the Life Mastery Skills Bookstore for $5.00.
For those of you who wish to purchase all six modules (Communication, Relationships, Abundance, Self Esteem, Empowerment and Self Awareness) the "Life Mastery Skills" book is also available and can be purchased for $19.00 at the Bookstore (a savings of $11.00). The "Life Mastery Skills" book contains exercises for developing the most essential aspects of emotional intelligence and was created specifically to help each of us break free from our past and live a life of fulfillment, filled with love, power and success.
