What I learned most.....

I have taken a little bit of everything from the information we have learned in class.  This class has made me more aware of subtle effects in a lot of different areas of my communication.  For me, that has been more helpful than having one BIG moment, and far more life changing.  What does strike me the most from what I have learned was probably regarding internal dialogue.  It has made me realize that whatever is going on in my head is noticed by others and they may react from that.  That can also be a domino effect with the social mirror.  If I have stress or issues that are being reflected, my mood can effect the way others feel, think or act.  I always believed that people should control their own mood, but now I see that being part of a positive environment can help people in small, but significant ways as it can change their whole mindset.  I was not aware that I had that much power over others, and that they have that much power over me.  It has encouraged me to be more thoughtful in my approach and what I am presenting.  Thank you!
