Using your blinker in relationships is about giving clear signals that let others know what's happening inside you, just like turn signals help drivers navigate safely. We often expect others to read our minds, leading to misunderstandings and frustration when they inevitably fail to know exactly what we're thinking or feeling.• Stop expecting the people in your life to read your minds and know exactly what you're thinking• No one is perfect, telepathic, or immune to needing reminders• When someone lets you down, have a conversation asking questions to understand, not to reply• Be a detective in your relationships by checking in and asking clarifying questions• Take personal accountability for being transparent about your needs and feelings• Clear communication is especially important in long-term relationships where we can become complacent• Nonviolent Communication involves naming emotions, identifying needs, and making requests versus demands• Journal prompts: Where are you expecting mind-reading?
