Top 10 Movies To Help Boost Your Communication Skills


"We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday for whatever we did wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think you are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions but we found out that each one of us is a brain" - Brian Johnson (The Breakfast Club) 

We think instinctively as human-beings that communication should be easy to understand -- but it's not. While we may understand a common language, we do not all share the same characteristics and experiences as each other. While we may wish it were as easy as talking to someone who knows exactly what you are trying to say or what you have gone through (as the quote says): 'each one of us is a brain'. 

Being an ambivert (but mostly an introvert), communicative skills can be even harder to try to obtain. Being in an environment where you're afraid to communicate can be even worse. Thankfully, I have learned that talking with others isn't scary. Sure, it may be intimidating. But, people aren't staring or judging as much as you think they are. They're going about their everyday lives. 

While not everyone is born with the best set of communicative skills, I am here to provide you with the chance to be more open to the idea of communicating better with others. However, before I provide you with the list: you may want to take a deep pause to recalibrate yourself and your instincts. 

Regardless, I present to you:

The Top 10 Movies That Promote Teamwork

"Don't you realize? The next time you see the sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here." -- Mikey (The Goonies) TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK Whether you are an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert -- like it or not, teamwork is one aspect within our lives that isn't going anywhere. Teamwork is a term that we all need to better familiarize ourselves with. You might be thinking: "--but, I can do these things on my own. I'm independent. I don't need the help of others". But, you do! We all do! While it may seem exhausting to be apart of a team, it can actually be quite refreshing. Teamwork means collaborating with others who have a different perspective and insight in

Animated Movies To Help You Cope With The Loss of a Loved One

"Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be. Until you're in my arms again. Remember Me" -- Miguel (Coco) Losing someone you care about most deeply is never easy to come to terms with. Even if they aren't gone yet, you have to essentially prepare for the inevitable. While I am not one for being vulnerable with my feelings, it is only fitting with this blog post. I have been close with my grandmother for 20 years. We have never been apart. When I was little, we (meaning my parents and grandparents) moved from Livermore to Stockton. While I have no recollection of this move, I do remember my childhood home. The small single story-home with a two-car garage. The greenery which spanned across the front. Cars occasionally passing by as we overlooked an empty field (which was now the soccer field of  Weston Ranch High). So many memories: good and bad have occurred within that house. Bringing home our first and only St. Bernard puppy. Breaking my arm at

The Netflix Series That Will Help Reorganize Your Life

"Just because you dispose of something does not mean you give up past experiences of your identity" -- Marie Kondo Hello, Hello! Wow, it seems like only yesterday when we were all enjoying the holiday season. Baking cookies. Sitting around the fireplace. Spending time with our loved ones. Now, we are in the middle of March. How did that happen?!? Well, for me. This week is very dear to me. Not only is it my Spring Break, but we are officially 12 days away from the first day of Spring (March 20th). I cannot wait! I've had enough with the chilly weather, bring on the sunshine!  For most of us, I am sure we are all familiar with that one time out of the year where we decide: "hmm … you know what? I'm free today. How about reorganizing my life. It's looking a little messy". That time is the start of Spring Cleaning. Sure, we do clean in the Winter too -- but what is so special about Spring Cleaning? Why do we feel the need to clean just beca
