MINDFUL COMMUNICATIONKRISTEN C. BLINNEASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, COMMUNICATION, SUNY ONEONTA
Jon Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness as… “the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose,
in the present moment and non-judgmentally.”
Celeste Condit describes communication as…“a process of relating.”
• Every communicative interaction creates, maintains, or changes a given relationship
• Most, if not all, communication has an afterlife
• You cannot control the interaction, but you can contemplate your impact
Adapted from The Five Keys to Mindful Communication by Susan G. Chapman
