Not all wars result in physical combat, such as the current war between Russia and Ukraine. Many battles exist in familial conflicts that may lead to estrangement or harmful effects on the body. In today’s episode, host Alejandra breaks down different ways to communicate peacefully to avoid destructive communication patterns.
There are many benefits to peaceful living. From better sleep to healthier relationships to improved overall health, we gain a higher quality of life when choosing harmony over fighting. Although it may seem difficult to resist the temptation of an argument, Alejandra encourages her listeners to explore their anger and choose more cordial tactics instead. After all, acting as a peacemaker not only helps you but your community as well.
Tune into this week’s episode of the Language Alchemy Podcast for a helpful conversation on peaceful communication. Learn more about the four benefits of peace, why fighting drains you of your energy, and how choosing peace allows you to show up for your loved ones.
Quotes
• “Your family needs you as a peacemaker. Your community needs you as a peacemaker. The people who don't share your opinions need you as a peacemaker. This world needs both of us to be peacemakers.” (1:38 - 1:54)
• “If you want to have more health or better health, find ways to cultivate peace.” (3:25 - 3:30)
• “When you experience peace frequently, you're more embodied, literally, not figuratively. You have greater access to your bodily sensations, so you are less lost in thoughts, you're less caught up in your head. And when you're more embodied, you smile more, make eye contact more frequently, speak more eloquently because your breath is more even, you're more present, and therefore, you listen more, which means that you're more enjoyable to be around. And this makes you more attractive, in the sense that people want to be with others with whom they can enjoy meaningful conversations. They want to be with others who have the time or take the time to savor the experience together.” (5:37 - 6:27)
• “When you don't have peace, it's extremely hard to have space for others. But when you experience peace, you have the energy to show up for all those who need you, all those who need to be listened to by you, all those who need to be heard by you, and all those who need to be held by you.” (8:23 - 8:48)
• “You are needed as a peacemaker at this time, and you can do it. You have the ability to choose peace. And when you choose peace, you choose health. You choose better sleep, you choose to be attractive, and you choose to show up in your life and your relationships in a healing, constructive and mature way.” (14:24 - 14:47)
•“When we have peace, that's when we can truly connect with one another.” (15:38 - 15:43)
