Mindful Words

Who was the last person you had a conversation with?  Was your conversation a positive or a negative one?  As I was sitting in the middle of a coffee shop a couple of days ago, I can't help but overhear the various conversations going on around me.  It was a small crowded coffee shop, so I had no control of what I could hear at that moment.  On my right, a well-dressed female was speaking into her cellphone, talking about how stupid someone was during the last time she saw that someone.  Behind me was an American and Filipino discussing a project with enthusiasm as they look into a laptop.  On my left, a small group of four was talking about how annoying and "maarte" apparently this other individual was, who I'm assuming was not present.  

It is a bit disappointing how much negative attitude people are projecting publicly compared to a more positive attitude.  Being mindful of our words can change how our attitude is perceived by others and can surely help change our situation everyday.  I have learned from one of my mentors that "what the mind tells you, the body will follow".  Consciously, I began eliminating or transforming some words that I would frequently use in conversation into more positive or proactive words.  For example, instead of saying "failure", say "learning experience".

Be a better conversationalist

Our conversations have become a part of our everyday activities.  Through conversation, we also reveal a little bit about who we are.  When a person walks away from a conversation, he or she has increased their knowledge about the other person.  It has become important for us to now create that positive image through our different conversations.



Enjoy and learn from a good conversation!

There are several tips and techniques that we can consciously and subconsciously apply to increase our mingling proficiency.  Remember that conversations aren’t only building blocks of relationships.  It can also be a platform of presenting who we are in a casual manner.  Here are some ways of improving our conversational skills:

Adding poise to your style

Sure, you have the best clothes in town, the right make-up and hairstyle and probably a bag that may cost a few months salary for some people.  But if your carriage lacks that spark that makes others say "There's something about that woman...", then all your investment on yourself might be useless, as people may not even notice you go by.  Sometimes, they may even create a negative impression of you.

So it is essential that no matter what style, wardrobe or look you want to have, you match these with the poised, confident and powerful carriage.  One's carriage is usually defined by a person's walk, body language, mannerisms and posture.  Power and confidence in one's carriage can definitely attract more people and create that great first impression that you may want to have.
