Can we change our perception of stress and turn a negative emotion into a more positive experience? |

Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes | |
|
“If you can’t fly then run if you can’t run then walk if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do keep moving forward.” “Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” “The quality, not the longevity of one’s life is what is important.” “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” “Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.” “A riot is the language of the unheard.” “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” “If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation.” “No person has the right to rain on your dreams.” “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” |

What impact does music have on society? Music has the power to culturally, morally, and emotionally influence our society. Thus, the more intentional we become with the sounds, messages, and moods we create and release through our music, the more powerful we will become in making deep positive impacts. |

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And, if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. —Martha Graham |

Recent Reviews of Nonviolent Communication 3rd edition: | |

5.0 out of 5 stars A method we all need to know It gives a good method to talk to someone who has a different view than you. It teaches to open ourselves up to the thoughts of others who do not appear to think like us and hold apparently differing views. 5.0 out of 5 stars I Wish I Discovered This Book Earlier In My Life! This might be one of the most important books you will ever read! This book not only serves as a guide to interpersonal communication, but intrapersonal communication as well. 5.0 out of 5 stars A good read to learn more about non verbal communication As a mental health therapist this is a good read to understand more about the non verbal communication. Especially with “passive/aggressive” individuals. 5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Rogers for adults Marshall Rosenberg is the Mr. Rogers for adults and his book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships gives life to all of the things I've spent my life trying to grow into and share with others. I want to live in the kind of world he advocates and the best way for me to create that reality is through my communication, especially with my children. The approach centers around identifying and communicating your feelings, needs, and requests and within such simplicity lies world-changing brilliance. "Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need." 5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for those wanting to resolve conflicts peacefully Great book on communication. I think anyone can apply these principles in their life to improve their interactions with others. The book had quality construction and the layout and design of the contents made it feel like a textbook. |
