| I commit to fully discussing my
thoughts and feelings.
I commit to fully discussing my thoughts and feelings
because I know that the key to a fulfilling life is through
healthy relationships, and the only way to achieve healthy
relationships is through a continual dedication to openness
and honesty.
I let go of the idea that people should be able to read
my mind. By communicating my feelings and concerns, I allow
others an accurate picture of what is going on in my life,
which gives a starting point for setting things right.
I have also let go of the idea that I can read other people's
minds. I may think I know what is going on, but to be sure,
I take the time to gently ask questions and actively listen.
When
I ask questions, I listen without interrupting. Then
I repeat what I heard so we can both be certain that we
are on the same page.

My family, close friends, and I all have the same central
goal; we want what is best for each other. The way we help
each other achieve this is through open and honest communication.
