Choice
A strong human value/need is to have choice and the power to make a decision between two or more possibilities. A value-based empathetic language of compassion is one that acknowledges choice in dialogue. It translates the mundane “have to” consciousness into one of recognition that this too is a choice and translates it into using different phrases that create open-ended choices.

The value of choice is one of human’s greatest needs
Life Area: Autonomy
It is this need that could be the source of all moralistic judgments and passive and aggressive violence. If there is no choice, the options are to fight or give in. Imagine a moment what feelings arise for you when you consider not having a choice. Do you sense a fight, flight or fright moment? Learning self-empathy steps and those for empathetic listening of others will shift those in the conversation into an experience of choice.
Practice your empathy skills this week.

The value of courage:
Life Area: Interdependence
Learning a new language is a new culture. You even think differently! It doesn’t take courage to learn a new language it takes time, effort and patience. It can be stimulating and inspiring. Now, here’s the thing, take your birth language and consider creating a new one while noticing your thought/speaking patterns. With a new language you are developing new brain pathways. Changing your language you are retraining old pathways in your brain and creating new. Now add to it that you are stepping free of the herd and being the change. This is courage!
Conscious Dialogue will change the world, one conversation at a time……
Fruition is appearing through those struggling through learning and as it pops up for those in my circle of learning – amazing connection of understanding and for me, gratification for contributing I am in the afterglow of three celebrations yesterday in three separate teaching moments that makes my heart sing! Each of the three completely different, couple, single, parent, yet all struggling with the pain of unconscious behaviour of their own and those around them. In the A-ha moments, the prior distress of waking up – gone! The one I would like to share is the feedback of one who recognized the value of getting ego out of the way to work mutually towards the good of the common goal! Wow, I have purposely not used the language of the dharma (ego) even tho having the recognition of these steps as the potential to actually create this experience. Going beyond our habit and learning how to be in a dialogue with understanding is amazing in my opinion!
