How to Communicate Like a Buddhist
How to Communicate Like a Buddhist


I used to lie awake at night worrying about work, family, friends, and boyfriends. I would obsess about all of it. And while all these thoughts and emotions were going on inside my head, I rarely expressed any of them. Instead, a colleague would knock on my cubicle while I was in the middle of something, and I'd roll my eyes and say in a passive-aggressive tone, "What can I do for you now?" Or my boyfriend would ask me to empty the water out of the tea kettle, and I'd argue about why leaving it there made sense.
Sometimes a simple question like: “What do you want for lunch?” would be difficult to answer. There was so much clutter in my head that I couldn't focus or slow down to express myself properly. Everything irritated me, and as a result, I reacted impulsively, damaging my relationships. Of course, I wanted to interact differently, but I just didn't know how.
So, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about how to communicate and express myself in a clear, direct, and accurate way. After years of reading, going to lectures, and attending seminars and retreats, I came up with a practice grounded in the Buddhist principles of right speech that takes away the mental clutter, cultivates kind and calm conversations, and shifts the mind out of the internal chatter and into the present moment.
