It is there, but it is not. You see it, but you don’t. There is a disconnect between what the passive-aggressive person says and what they mean to say. Passive-Agressiveness is a difficult cycle to deal with. When you are on the receiving end you never really know where you stand and constantly have to try to work out what is going on. Some common phrases that are used in passive-aggressive communication are:... I’m just saying... I’m just curious... I don’t know if you have noticed, but .... Oh, don’t you worry about me... I sure wish someone would.. It’s ok, I will take care of it.. Am I the only one who..? I don’t want to sound mean, but... I was only joking... Do you recognize this in your own communication or in that of others? Can you think of more phrases that are passive-aggressive? #coaching #lifecoaching #selfdevelopment #awareness #communication #relationships #assertiveness #passiveaggressive #honesty #growth #habits #change #changeyourlife #newyou

His fault? Her fault? Their fault? Not yours? Blaming others is so much easier than admitting that maybe part of what is happening is your responsibility. Our ego loves to use other people as excuses for things that happen in our life we do not know how to handle or face. My question for you: How do you grow if you play the blame game? #lifecoaching #lifeskills #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #communication #assertiveness #blaming #responsibilty #selfreflection #selfawareness #growth #mindset #learning #selfhelp #behaviour #mindfulliving #happiness #emotions #betterlife #newyou

Meeting your needs feels good. You feel happy, grateful, safe, loved, calm... Who do you believe is responsible for fulfilling your needs? You are..... You can’t expect other people to fulfill your needs for you. Most of the time they don’t even know what it is that you need or want, because you haven’t stretched yourself to voice it and make it clear. Put the responsibility for meeting your needs on yourself. Start with using your voice, express your feelings, thoughts and needs kindly and if others can’t fulfill what you need, take care of it yourself. What need are you taking care of yourself today? #lifecoach #coaching #communication#authenticity #personal development #selfcare #selfhelp #growth #assertiveness #control #movingforward #growthmindset #emotions #newyou #happiness

How do you respond in the thick of argument? Do you argue calmly? Are you being logical, reasonable and open-minded? Do you listen with curiosity and acknowledge the value of what the other is saying?... Will you consider another perspective? Will you admit your wrong when evidence is presented? Or ....do you hit back hard just to get your way? Think about this for a moment.... when you enter situations of argument, is your default setting being disagreeable? #lifecoaching #coaching #selfdevelopment #communication #skills #selfhelp #assertiveness #disagreement #habits #solutionfocused #respect #patience #newyou #conflictmanagement #awareness #growth #mindset

It is so easy to make assumptions. You only need some incomplete information, and an unwillingness to ask questions. When your emotions come into play, which usually happens because a situation reminds you of past hurt, your lash out with unkind and disrespectful words presented as facts. If you can relate to this, ask yourself: What has been the toll on my health and my relationships? Next time you are tempted to jump into conclusions, nip it in the bud and ask questions. And yes, maybe you find out a truth that is painful to hear. Take ownership. There is where your growth lies. #lifecoaching #selfdevelopment #growth #communication #emotions #hurt #behaviour #truth #awareness #relationships #compassion #happiness #mentalhealth #understanding #newyou #assertiveness #selfhelp #positivity
