Mindful communication

In the last chapter, I gained new insights on mindful communication. It's more then just being ethical, or sensitive to another culture, it's making conscious choices about the words you say, how you say them, and what situation you say them in. it also seems to be more than just adapting your communication style to the situation, it's being truly present in the situation and adjusting your mode of speech and attitude accordingly. It ties into the concept of being authentic, and a whole person. Treating another person as a whole being makes mindful communication easier and makes us more mindful in other situations and of ourselves as whole people. A more holistic approach to life should begin with mindful communication, and them branch in to other areas of life. It's been a consistent theme in other areas of study as well, and starting with mindful communication seems like a good place.
