Interpersonal communication:
- Dialogue between two or more people
Intrapersonal communication:
- Dialogue with yourself, self-talk, inner monologues
How to improve your intrapersonal communication skills:
Journaling
- Time to be with your thoughts
- Different types of journaling
- Handwriting vs typing
- Negotiate innermost feelings/sentiments
- Powerful for unloading the clutter in your mind
- Using prompts for journaling (both in writing and illustrations)
Dreaming/daydreaming
- Dream recall (trainable skill)
- REM state to remember dreams
- Getting lost in thoughts
- Dreams tell us so much about our inner thoughts
- Meditative but not necessarily mindfulness
Self-Talk
- Pep talk (positive self-talk)
- Affirmations that empower you
- Sign of good mental health
- Effective way to motivate yourself
- Effective way to push yourself to think critically about what you’re doing
- Respectful self-talk is key
Visualization
- Visualizing certain goals
- Manifesting dreams and goals
- Vision boards (digital and analog)
- Making collages that empower you serving as a constant reminder
- Imagining what success looks like
- Setting goal posts and objectives
- Asking yourself “what would success in this look like” and visualization yourself in that scenario (5 senses)
Summary:
- Using these tools in synchrony
- Practice these strategies to use the intrapersonal muscles
- Handy for making big life decisions
- Synergies between these strategies
- Each in their own right are powerful as well
- Focus deliberately on nurturing these skills
- Establishes a firm foundation to interaction interpersonally as well
