To perceive is to inhale. When we are perceptive, we breathe everything in; we take in the scents, noises, and visuals and manufacture a perception of the situation based on our past experiences (Stewart, 2012). Our perceptions are achieved through selection, organizing, and inferring (Stewart, 2012). I look at selection as kind of like tunnel vision or keeping your eye on the target. Your mind chooses what to pay attention to. Your mind also organizes what it chooses to pay attention to. Like when you see a face you think you’ve seen before but can’t quite place it. Your brain will focus on that face and organize the cues to figure out where you know them (Stewart, 2012). Then we infer or judge depending on how we organized the cues (Stewart, 2012).

To exhale is to send out communication (Stewart, 2012). We have to give something to get something in return. So, in communication, we send out or release information about ourselves and in return, learn some about the other person by listening (Stewart, 2012). Communication is a two way street or a give and take relationship. Interpersonal communication is personal. It does not happen with one person. It takes two. You cannot build a trusting relationship if all you do is tell your story all the time. You have to be able to listen to their story as well and show that you have heard them. Make them feel validated, as they have done for you. I believe the golden rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated. This goes for interpersonal communication as well.
