1- How did it feel to send out the surveys? Were you apprehensive or confident? Were there any surprises in the responses?
2- Please reword this paragraphs in your own words do not us the same words as in this paragraphs.
I was pretty shocked to say the least about my assessment. My results where kind of hard to understand, but after reviewing them It came to my attention that I am really inconsistent in my ability to communicate affectively. I am a quiet person, I don’t like confrontation and I don’t assert myself very much. When I am listening to a person they do get my undivided attention and my sympathies and I also try and relate my life experiences to there conversations. When I apply this to my ability to communicate affectively I have to take into account that my beliefs may not always be the same as their and to keep an open mind and only give my position on things when it is warranted instead of being on the those listeners that tries to give back negative feedback.
3-I had never seen this show before. A student posted this site. I just watched the Are Our Brains Lazy segment. It was a trip. For those of you who haven’t seen it, here is the link: https://youtu.be/MNA4KUcjBdE
Take a look. What do you think? How can these assumption misunderstandings occur in interpersonal
communication?
4-A topic that has been brought up a few times within this class, as well as in this weeks designated reading is self-talk. This is a topic that is near and dear to me because there was a point in my life ( specifically middle school & high school) Were I would tell myself when I auditioned for a play, or applied to a job oh there’s not way they will hire you or cast you? Do you think I landed that job or role? Absolutely not, because I now believe that our thoughts create our circumstances. Now I typically go into interviews or other nerve-wracking situations with a can do attitude. Now when I walk into a interview or uncomfortable situation I think to myself I am awesome, I am intelligent and I got this. I have also learned that self-talk is important with my anxiety disorders, when I have anxiety I simply keep repeating your fine calm down your safe and you are loved and now I can talk myself out of anxiety attacks. I brought this topic up because I wanted to see if anyone else had any stories or advice about self-talk?
Also others who struggle with things like anxiety and depression, how do you think these disorders affect your self-esteem? How does self-talk help in these scenarios
