Often friends like to joke among themselves about how their new year resolutions fall flat in the first three months itself. We frequently find people around us say something and then don’t do what they say. Or they make a grand resolution that they don’t eventually meet. If one thinks hard enough, one may find themselves doing such a thing from time to time as well.
While it may seem like a harmless act, it often amounts to something big – not aligning one’s words, thoughts and actions in life can affect the bigger picture. The harmony of these three elements helps steer us in the right direction by turning our actions into healthy habits that set us up for a successful life.
No matter where you belong or what you do, trust and credibility are one of the foremost things people look for in potential friends, partners and employees. This credibility comes when we are able to put into words our exact thoughts and then execute them responsibly. A dependable family member, a trustworthy lover or a colleague who is a friend in need; these are the kind of people who attract others with their solid, confident personalities. And the best thing is that anyone can cultivate such healthy traits – by setting the foundation with the holy trio of thoughts, words and actions.
Soulveda shares what the power of thoughts, words and actions being one can do for you.
Builds confidence
When our thoughts, words and actions are in synchronicity, our life is harmonious and less chaotic. We can move about our life and routine with the knowledge that we have a basic control on things. It not only makes each day more manageable but also makes us less easy to sway to disturbances.
It is important to practice the reverse as well. If a thought that forms in our mind doesn’t seem right, we should resist speaking about it. Saying something we second guess sends wrong signals to our body and surroundings as well. It also makes the one hearing it confused about our actual intentions.
So one must build a confident personality by cleaning up one’s language first – use words and ask questions that set clear goals and sharpen focus. It is also important to remove excess or curse words from one’s everyday vocabulary.
This will cut chaos from the everyday, build a stronger sense of self and even inspire others to do the same.
Makes relationships better
Many a times, we seem to speak a significant amount, but tend to make little sense. Also, speaking a lot doesn’t necessarily mean we are being understood. In fact, we have often seen that some people who speak less tend to say exactly what they think and make more impact.
The reverse also tends to be true – when we are unsure of what we really think, it shows when we try to talk about the same. Our lack of clarity on the subject shows and it exposes us as someone who is unsure and second guessing themselves. This is something that can be a deterrent in building trusting relationships, both personally and professionally.
Having clarity of thought is thus important in building healthy relationships. Anyone who wants to become a part of our life can be sure of our intentions when they see our thoughts and words are in sync. And that sets the tone for the relationship just right.
If it seems like a tough thing to do, start by practicing it daily in small doses. Choose a topic and think hard about it. Also think through how you will execute the plan when it comes to that. Once clear with your thoughts, figure how you’d like to express it in words. When you find the right words, you are ready to share it with the world.
The people to whom you will now convey your intentions will find you ready and capable for the task ahead. In fact, some of them will also accompany you in your endeavor.
