IAAC (I am Alive and Active Challenge): Actifit Report: September 10 2023 BETTER COMMUNICATION

Let me be myself without your criticism.
Whitney Alexander

I learnt something new today- to better communicate with others you need to make use of ‘the Johari window and the different temperaments’. Will get to them soonest.

I am Catholic and love being Catholic. I have been attending the same catholic church (Holy Rosary Catholic Church at Wuse Zone 3 Abuja) for the past 25 years because of its proximity and now being overtly familiar with its members with the good, the bad and a pinch of an ugly experience, I think it's time for a little change or a little mix.

So for the past month, I decided to attend other catholic churches around when I am not engaged with the responsibility of taking readings although will need to get rides to go to these churches and have not regretted it. Today was one of those experiences, I attended the Church of assumption catholic church Asokoro.

Whenever I go to church or any activity that entails teaching I carry my writing materials and make use of them like I did today.
Three Bible passages were highlighted Ezekiel 33:7-9, Rom 13:8-10 and Matt 18:15-20 which encouraged doing everything centred on love.

The Johari window comprises the four concepts of the knowledge of self.

Each four window panes signifies personal information, feelings, motivation and whether that information is known or unknown to oneself or others in four viewpoints.
I learnt that there are sides of me that are known to me and not known to others (hidden area), sides of me known to others and myself (open area), sides of me known to others and I know not (blind spot) and other sides unknown to others and myself (unknown area).

Because there are sides that others see of you that you may not know about so you need to listen to what others that care about you say of you. Goodness knows I have changed a lot of negatives in me from this skill (listening).

The sides of me unknown to all including myself; like my capabilities, talents and feelings have been more exposed from my experiences in life as I have grown. I never knew I could be bold enough to talk to a group of people a few years back or that I could be creative. I sure have grown.

I got home after the mass and rested through the afternoon then got up to share what I had learnt with my mum. We do that so often.
All we learnt today is geared towards LOVE. Correct others with love.

Then I went to get some fabrics my friend dropped at the church security post and took these gorgeous pictures.

I am alive and thriving. And pray above all else that you are too.
