#645 #ClarifyMisunderstandings No matter how hard you try, there will always be misunderstandings, especially in the digital age where you may be reading what someone wrote, but not seeing their emotional state or tone. It will happen at home, at work, at school. It can happen anywhere. That's why it's important to look for signs that communication or lack thereof has been misunderstood. For example, if someone appears to be getting flustered over what you did or said and it was not your intention to have them react in that manner, there's probably a misunderstanding. This applies to you as well if you are reacting strongly to a situation. Identify that it could be a misunderstanding and work to bridge the communication gap. Be patient. Emotions may be escalated. State facts and do your best to maintain a level head. It's sometimes best to revisit the situation once emotions have simmered. It may be difficult, but it will be worth it. Clarify misunderstandings! #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach Pics: #tshirt #soa I was stationed at The School of the Americas for a time before it closed. This is a shirt "I" still have. Technically, it's mine, but my daughter mostly uses it. There was definitely a lot of misunderstanding over the school's purpose at the time. 20190727 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5J_wzKBfL9/?igshid=1cuk31ckl4b14
