See, Hear, Feel





Everyone has a dominant sense when communicating. Many respond to visual cues.  Others need auditory stimulation as their primary receptor.  Some individuals need to give and receive kinesthetic (touch/tactile) stimuli.  


When communicating with someone, listen to how they express themselves.  Do they use the word, "see,"  "hear," or "feel" when talking?  What do they do and say to project positive intentions?


Observe others' use of their senses and you will communicate more effectively with them.  Reflect back to them in their special sense with similar words and actions.  This will have a positive impact on their expressions.  


If you can't tell their dominant sense, combine all three. Let them hear something positive. Write or provide a helpful situation. Touch, hug, and appeal to their emotions. 


Eventually you will learn your family and friends' most valued sense through reactions.  This will assist you in ways to engage and boost their potential.


Creative Write:  Do you know your dominant sense?  Consider using an alternative sense as the dominant one today. If you're visual, listen more intently.  If hearing dominates your world, speak with intention. If you're not a touchy person, try using your fingers to Braille the world.   


Write about the experience of using less dominant senses. Notice what you discover about yourself.
