Journaling And Verbal Expressive Communication Skills

From this week, I think that learned something very valuable and applicable thing in my career and my personal life i.e. communication. In my opinion, communication plays a very important role for any relationship to have a strong foundation and make it last longer. At the same time, it very important how one expresses it and the other perceives it. The non verbal communication was one of the important thing to know for any person. There are a few components to non verbal communication like facial expression, eye contact, and touching.

My expressiveness allows me to convey emotion while telling a story. This ability has made writing an important outlet for my feelings. I stay away from constructed pieces, and instead use writing as more of an art form. With flowing verses instead of rigid paragraphs, I manage to use my pen as an outlet of my thoughts. My writing shows my passion for the topics I choose to my readers and often looks at a different side of seemingly matter-of-fact circumstances.

1. The first resources that I’ve learned from this course are using the multiple job websites online, we’ve had excellent communication between classmates on how we can benefit from using these sites out and look for specific jobs in our area. This will assist in work as a counselor because it will help in my networking about the city I currently work in and learning about how to make my resume stick out. The second fact that I’ve learned in this course is finding balance in your life so that you can go through the stay focused, during the semester, we had the good discussion about a thing in our life that we enjoy. This all comes down to balance and taking care of ourselves so that we can stay sharp overall. The third fact that I took away from the cause is the process of helping at the veterans in our community; we talked in this course about resources in our society that will assist people that have served in the way. Certain things like VA hospitals and helping them deal with their past trauma. The fourth resource that I took away from this course is learning about the multiple career counseling theories; this will assist in my communication and helping with my client as it relates to their future goals. The fourth fact that I learned from this course is the importance of self-care and making sure every day you are taking good care of yourself to function adequately in general. The fifth fact I took away from this course is how journaling is vital when it comes to

At the age of 5, I cooked the hot wheels cars in the pink frying pan of my kitchen set and at the age of 7 I acted like my mum while my brother acted like a racer in the driver’s seat and at 12, my mum warned me to not get into arguments with boys and at 16,I was told to let my guy friends sit in the front seat while my dad dropped us for school because we had grown big enough to treat my guy friends as men who could demand respect and recently I was coaxed for not being expressive about my emotions. How about absorbing the fact that I am strong and don’t need an audience for my tears? But at the end of my reflective monologue, I realized that I had always been on the receiving end of this societal stigma. The dark humor of the truth I believed in blew my mind away.

The most difficult aspect of testifying is having stage fright. Some officers and or people are not comfortable with speaking out loud and clear for all to hear in a public courtroom setting. Not only must the person testifying have to go through a direct examination but also a cross examination where it is intended to destroy the person's credibility.

The only way you can become better at doing something is simply by continuing to work on your craft. Whether it is a hobby, an interest, or a profession, if you don't keep working, then you will remain complacent. A year ago, I thought writing was one of those things where I would just be complacent in. Not because I didn’t wanted to work harder at it, but because I thought of writing as one of those skills that came natural to you, or you did not have it at all. I always wanted my writing to improve but never knew how.

I’ve also read that journaling, as an added bonus, can improve your health; I could certainly benefit from that. Apparently, studies have shown that people who write about their feelings whether good ones or even bad can experience less stress and even increase stronger immune systems. We all know how keeping it all bottled up inside can be a recipe for disaster. Who knew journaling could increase wellbeing and

Often, emotions remain bottled up due to the fear of developing a weak and powerless image. Protecting one’s emotions

The beauty of writing is that we all have the power to write down how we feel about things in our daily lives or things that are occurring in our world. This is the most vital reason to why I love the concept of writing. Being able to write down how you feel about a specific thing without having to worry about anyone else judging your opinions is liberating. I view writing as a blank canvas. Something that's blank is empty or undecorated. A blank canvas hasn't been drawn or painted on yet, it's clean and unmarked. We have the power to decorate, personalize, and create whatever we desire on a piece of paper. When I become suppressed with negative emotions, I tend to write or type out what’s bothering me and by doing so, it helps me break down everything that’s making me upset or angry and figure out possible solutions to fix the problem or problems that are going on in my

I finally had a place where I could write the things I could not say aloud to my friends and family. I began looking forward to dumping out my emotions and thoughts on a daily basis. Every thought and frustration would just unfold and fall onto the pages of my notebook. I began to grow in self-understanding, and soon had an easier time expressing my own thoughts and beliefs to others. With this new and improved self-awareness, communicating became so much easier and smoother than it had even been before. Without a complete understanding of the origin of my thoughts and beliefs, I had a hard time conveying my ideas and thoughts to other people; however, once I was able to quickly recognize my complete thought and its origin’s, I could properly exclaim the concept I wished to get

“Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released.” -Natalie Goldberg. As a writer, that’s one of the most relatable quotes I’ve come across. I tell my stories through someone else. My hopes, fears, past, and unrealistic dreams. I adore writing from past experiences and adventures I wish were real. I use to bottle things up. Then I discovered writing as a solution to express what’s rushing through my mind. Being bold with each word I peak onto the page. Writing has even guided me to becoming more outspoken. However I used to be even more timid than I am today.

Freshman year, I grew in 2 ways; one which included gaining skills for academic success. I wanted to find a way to become a better writer while at the same time putting my feelings on paper, thus leading to my journal, or “diary”. I would write events that happened and my feelings and input on it. One thing I noticed was that writing

Personally I feel that writing can be a great source in expressing our feelings, hopes, and dreams that can’t be conveyed through spoken words. Especially, looking at Autobiography of Red in which Geryon used writing to document moments in his life and how he felt during that time. The only down fall with writing is my case is organizes my thoughts to flow how I would like them to.

When I was younger, writing in my diary helped me unwind from my childish energy, but now, reflecting in my journal drives my curiosity. As I write, I am persistently asking myself new questions. Because of my journal, I am constantly making connections and thinking deeper about the events that occur in my

During my typical teenage years up until only just a few years ago, I engaged in the usual defense mechanisms of artificial confidence, hiding my insecurities and holding in my emotions both to protect my self-image and eliminate judgments from others. I wasn’t ready to reveal my true self on the basis that people might use that information to hurt or better yet, to destroy me.
