Why Bother About Life Skills?
It can be the diffrenece between getting that job or not, finding the right partner, making friends easily, feeling well and even being successful in life.
Life is like sailing. You must adjust your sails to the circumstances for smooth sailing. InnerWeather.com consists of text and other source material to help adults learn essential life skills to achieve higher mastery of their own emotional health and happiness, such as:
Communication
Communication is more than taking turns talking.
Empathy
That important ability to know when someone else is hurting.
Decision Making
Even when you don't decide you decide.
Tolerance
If you want others to let you live your life as you choose, you must grant them the same privilege.
Relationships
Not just the obvious ones, but with friends, family, strangers, yourself and people you see every day but don't know.
Mindfulness
Allows you to step back and think before you speak or act.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE LIFE SKILLS?
Does sailing through your days feel like this?
Are your sails rippped and broken, flailing randomly in the wind?
Learn your own ropes, what they do and how they work.
Know when and how to use them.
Catch the winds and let them guide you steadlily forward.
How do you get to smoother sailing?
Learn to tune in to the weather inside of you. Can you feel an angry storm warning or teary rain on the way? Maybe the clouds just won't lift?
Just like sailing in the weather outside: when you know which rope to adjust for your sails to catch the wind and transport you forward, you learn to sail smoothly or manage your daily interactions with much more ease.
How it works
Our social and emotional ability to respond well to things that happen in our days can make a major difference in how we experience life.
Good life skills make it possible to change our own inner weather from turbulent to calm.
When we are able to stay calm inside, new perspectives open up all around us.
