The power of Communication

What do we say to the god of death?

Have you ever had a bad day. You came back home from school/college/work and then a 30 second call with your loved one's uplifted your mood and calmed you down? 

Have you ever had a great day. You felt something is missing. You then talk to your loved one's and suddenly your great day gets the sense of completeness?

Well, that's the power of communication. 

Starting with the topic of communication, the best person with whom you shouldn't miss the conversation is YOU. In today's world, most of us are so busy and messed up that we forget to communicate with the best person in the world, i.e., ourselves. I recently read a wonderful book - The Power of Subconscious Mind in which the author has beautifully mentioned how our mind influences every single aspect of our life. Our communication with ourself by sending the right signals in form of thoughts can do wonders. There are proven examples that if we communicate our wishes or willingness to do something, it can be achieved easily. So, one should never miss to convey the message to oneself with the thoughts they have. You never know, your subconscious mind might do it for you effortlessly.

There is no problem in the world (not sure about India-Pakistan issue) which can't be solved with effective communication. World leaders are solving the nuclear issues, trade issues, climate issues, etc with communication on different forums. Even tough situation between countries gets solved by visiting of leaders and talking for couple of days. With the power of social media, it has become so easy to communicate our thinking with anyone and everyone in the world.

If such big problems can be solved, then we should be rest assured that our life problems can be solved too. The very start to the solution of our problem is talking to your closed one's. A lot of cases of depression are on rise just because we're bottling up. We don't open because we fear of being judged or maybe we think nobody would understand. But, that fear can lead to other issues which in my personal experience is even worse.

Whom should we talk to incase there's a problem? 

In few cases, it is not even a problem if you change the perspective but for us it seems to be the biggest problem of life. You can talk to a person you're close with. That person can be your parents, siblings, friends or even a random person or thing (duck algorithm in which you try to explain your problem to a duck and while explaining the situation you find the solution by yourself). If nothing works, consult a counselor. I personally have undergone issues which seemed unsolvable to me and talking to a counsellor who was a stranger too gave me a comfort to open up. With time, communicating whatever was bottled up helped me cope up well and my problems got minimised and I'm now having peace with my mind. The whole point is communication is very important whenever there is a problem.

With that I don't mean that you shouldn't talk whenever there is no problem. One should always keep the relationship alive by talking to your people. It's just a matter of hi. 

I recently watched an amazing video #talktothem which I loved. I recommend watching it.

Also, do remember, I'm always there for you for any conversation.

What do we do when we have a problem? 
We communicate!
