You may not know this, but what we say to ourselves can
affect your health. For example, if you are someone who continually uses
negative self-talk, your body will react to that. Research shows that
negative self-talk is a major contributor to general. This can be overcome.
Constant
negativity seems to be something we do regularly. We do this so much
that we turn this into a habit... not a good habit, either! We don't
even realize we are doing it, however, the fact that we do convince
ourselves of negative communication being fact, this "habit" is not in
alignment with the true inner being. This "habit" has come from our
fears and beliefs about ourselves.
Louise Hay, Author quotes: "If you do not have the thought, you will not have the feeling. And, thoughts can be changed. Change the thought and the feeling will go."
Over time, constant negative self-talk can affect emotions and then manifest into actual physical symptoms. If you have constant low vibrations of ongoing negativity, this can take away your vitality and lead to anxiety.
Taken from the book, SYMBOLS:The Art of Communications, we are judged over 90% on what we do not say!) The most obvious form of paralanguage is body language or kinesics, whichis the language of gestures, expressions, and postures. In North America, for instance, we commonly use our arms and hands to say good-bye, point, count, express excitement, beckon, warn away, threaten, insult, etc. According to a new study, our unspoken cues, such as subtle gestures and facial expressions have affects health care.
Researchers from the University of Michigan analyzed video recordings of routine check-ups, focusing in on non-verbal communication. Then they did follow-up interviews with the participants in the videos to see how the unspoken communication affected their experience.
On the patient side, many of the findings revolved around their level of comfort during an examination - was the doctor in a rush, was the doctor listening to them, etc. As for doctors, many of them admitted to intuitively putting together their patients' verbal and nonverbal cues to reach a diagnosis.
According to an article in Forbes Magazine, it is these communication issues that often create a substantial amount of miscommunication and misunderstanding between cultures. Nonverbal Communication includes arenas such as: silence, appearance, space, time, touching, gestures, facial expressions, smell, para-language and rituals. These arenas of communication greatly impact issues of negotiation, conflict, boss/worker expectation, deadlines, promotion and EVERY area of organizational progress. Thus, culturally bound nonverbal communication of each employee is added to the mix of all organizational interaction. An individual may think they are saying or transmitting one message and the message is being received by the listener in a totally different way.
Or they may not be trying to transmit any specific message but their nonverbal manner is being interpreted in a certain way that impacts the co-worker relationship and context. There is much miscommunication between people of the same culture in addition to the differing world views and nonverbal patterns of communicating.
Communication and Health are very much connected in that when people feel bad about themselves or something someone says or even what people do, they internalize the information, which causes stress and stress brings on illness, according to most physicians I've worked with.
