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

See you in the next one!
