Communication is the crucial, fundamental component of lasting joy and success for anyone. The quality of our conversations has a significant impact on our lives, especially so on the relationships we build, both personal and professional levels. In most instances, most people would tend to focus on emphasizing, if not overemphasizing, on what is wrong instead of being attentive to what is right. Such a focus often lead us to embed in a negative tone, whether we communicate inwardly ((i.e., self-talk) or outwardly. And if left unchecked, our negative communication has the potential to cause us emotional, mental and physical harm. Essentially, does Positive Communication have tangible effects and benefits on our health, wellness and our relationships?
