Nonviolent Communication and Social Media |
How does Nonviolent Communication (NVC) View Social Media? To answer the question of how Nonviolent Communication holds or addresses social media, first let’s define NVC and some relevant key differentiations. What is
NVC? Nonviolent Communication, or NVC, is a process for arriving at a high quality of connection through which people prevent and resolve misunderstandings and conflicts, create exceptional personal and professional relationships, and spontaneously enjoy contributing to one another’s well-being. One of the key differentiations NVC
emphasizes is the distinction between needs (Universal Human Needs) and strategies. Needs vs Strategies Needs, as defined within NVC, are universal in the sense that all humans share them. Strategies, on the other hand, are the ways we attempt to meet needs
— and by definition they are not universal. For example, we all have a need for safety. Some people meet that need through keen awareness of their surroundings. Other people meet that need by getting to know their neighbors and creating a sense of community. Others meet that very same need by carrying a gun. And still others might meet their need for safety by staying home and hiding out. It’s the same need —
potentially fulfilled by various and very different strategies... Read More |
The more we empathize with the pain that leads to violence, the less likelihood of violence. Marshall Rosenberg |

To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it. —Mother Teresa
Meeting Our Need for Exercise I used to hike up a small mountain before work several mornings a week. I could complete this rugged, six-mile hike in an hour and a half. Then, I would take a quick shower and start my workday. Today, I walk or jog for thirty minutes and do a thirty-minute yoga workout four to five
mornings a week. In both cases, my need for exercise has been well met. In my younger days, it was fun to work my body hard and to feel powerful because of what I could accomplish. Today, much less activity feels good to me. We all have different strategies and different degrees of endurance for exercise or movement. When I have focused on working out in ways that experts suggest, I have felt overwhelmed and had a
hard time sticking to the program. When I instead focus on my desire to meet my needs for physical well-being, exercise, and serenity, I enjoy my morning workouts. Are you meeting your needs for exercise? Consider which activities would help you meet your needs for physical and emotional health and fun, rather than focusing on what expert opinion says. Be aware today of whether your
need for exercise is met and if you would like to tweak your program. |
