simple shui | clean communication, part one

have you ever experienced that unsettling feeling when a fuzzy ball of pet hair suddenly appears from nowhere after you’ve swept or cleaned the floors? and you’ve wondered how you missed it in the first place?

when conversations become hostile or bitter, negative energy gathers just like pesky pet hair. it stays hidden in a corner, continuing to collect stray comments, until it petulantly perks up in our moods and interactions with others. even though it is unseen, its presence can infuse how we feel, think, and act. and just like a bad mood or creepy feeling can’t be seen, your senses will often pick up on energetic clues, causing a shift in your demeanor.

when we are happy, our conversations (and word choices) are elevated and uplifting. they leave a pleasant peace in their wake. too much negative talk, however, and we generate a very low vibe around us.

there are a variety of ways to mitigate negative energy lingering in your space, depending on how severe it feels. and in upcoming posts, i’ll share strategies on purging those unwelcome vibes.

however. since life doesn’t always push daisies our way, i am going to share something tomorrow i never have on my blog before…

my rules for clean communication.

between my own (BIG) mistakes and some excellent mentors, i’ve learned to navigate confrontations and hostility. because sometimes a difficult conversation is simply necessary. and by following a few rules when we speak our truth, low vibes will suffocate. when you express yourself from love, you prepare space for profound inner and outer harmony.
