In this Loom, I'm going to share some tips to make communication go smoother for you. First, it's important to recognize when you need a break from a conversation and ask for it. Be open about needing more time to process information if you do during conversations. Establish a cue with your partner to remind each other to take a break when conversations go off track. Ensure you are in optimal circumstances when you are receiving information or relaying it. Use do not disturb buttons or signs to ensure you are not interrupted during important communication. Choose how you respond or communicate information to others. Ask for written information at work or to record information. Recognize when your nervous system is overwhelmed and respond by taking regular breaks. Choose calm places in your house where you feel like you are more able to receive and process discussions or deliver communications such as emails or texts. Another idea for self-accommodations is to develop key phrases to have on the ready. These are more like boundary phrases like, \"I can't do this right now because I can't give you my full attention. Can we do this later?\" or \"I'm overwhelmed right now, can we please talk about this difficult topic after dinner?\" These are just some ideas, but they can make a big difference in improving communication."}
