10 Tips for More Effective Emotional Communication

10 Tips for More Effective Emotional Communication

Communication is the most important element in any relationship. Without it, you are doomed to a life of uncertainty and misunderstanding. Non-communicative couples seldom last and usually end up living separate lives, which leads to separate relationships. Once you are able to really talk with each other, the barriers to risk-takingand letting go of your ego diminish. 
Here are 10 ways to encourage effective emotional communication in your relationship:
1. Find an emotional connection with your partner. Take a moment to look in their eyes, hold their hands and re-experience the reason you fell in love with them.
2. Create an environment of openness; encourage your partner to talk with you. Asking fun questions—like "What do you think was the best movie we ever saw?"—is a great way to begin a conversation. Once the door is open, it's very easy to move to the next level.
3. Make it safe to talk about emotion in your relationship. Let your partner know that you are there for them. It can be very empowering to say, "You can cry on my shoulder if you ever need to. I won't think you're weak; your feelings are important to both of us." Once your partner knows they will not be judged for being emotional, and that their words will not be used against them, they will be more open to sharing their deeper feelings.
4. Help each other learn basic conflict-resolution skills. Understand that in every conversation (no matter how heated), there is a speaker and a listener: When the speaker is talking, the listener needs to hear what they are saying. Then the roles reverse. This alone will make difficult conversations much easier.
5. Encourage informality—learn to be relaxed with each other. If things get difficult, and you feel like you have to walk on eggshells, let your partner know that you also feel the tension and that you are willing to agree to drop the attitude.
6. Encourage your partner to bring their “whole” selves to the relationship. Let them know that they don't have to edit their feelings and that you are willing to hear whatever it is they need to say.
7. Admit to your partner that not all of your actions, words, or ideas are good ones. We all make mistakes, and we have to give each other room to be human.
8. Support your partner in thinking out loud. Nothing unsaid ever goes unnoticed. Even if people don't talk about what is on their mind, their behaviors will reflect their true feelings. Talking about what you are feeling will prevent you from acting out, and perhaps creating an unnecessary conflict.

गरुड़ पुराण कथा और सार – Garud Puran in Hindi गरुड़ पुराण कथा – Garud Puran in Hindi गरुड़ पुराण  हिन्दू धर्म के प्रसिद्ध वेद पुराण में से एक है। वैष्णव सम्प्रदाय से सम्बन्धित गरुण पुराण हिन्दू धर्म में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गति प्रदान करने वाला माना जाता है। इसलिये सनातन हिन्दू धर्म में मृत्यु के बाद ‘गरुड पुराण’ के श्रवण का प्रावधान है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु  हैं। अठारह पुराणों में ‘गरुड़ महापुराण’ का अपना एक विशेष महत्व है। क्योंकि इसके देव स्वयं विष्णु माने जाते हैं, इसीलिए यह वैष्णव पुराण है। गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन में तो मिलता ही है, परंतु मरने के बाद भी कार्यों का अच्छा-बुरा फल मिलता है। इसी वजह से इस ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का अवसर निर्धारित किया गया, ताकि उस समय हम जन्म-मृत्यु से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सके और मृत्यु वश बिछडऩे वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके। भगवान विष्णु की भक्ति |  Devotion to Lord Vishnu वास्तविक तथ्य यह है कि ‘गरुड़ पुराण’ में भगवान विष्णु ...

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place, person or group to another.

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place, person or group to another. Every communication involves (at least) one sender, a message and a recipient. This may sound simple, but communication is actually a very complex subject. The transmission of the message from sender to recipient can be affected by a huge range of things. These include our emotions, the cultural situation, the medium used to communicate, and even our location. The complexity is why good communication skills are considered so desirable by employers around the world: accurate, effective and unambiguous communication is actually extremely hard. A communication therefore has three parts: the sender, the message, and the recipient. The sender ‘encodes’ the message, usually in a mixture of words and non-verbal communication. It is transmitted in some way (for example, in speech or writing), and the recipient ‘decodes’ it. Of course, there may be more than one recipient, and t...
