Day 28 - Listening

Imagine what is possible when we approach each conversation as an opportunity for learning.

Reflection
  • Think about a time when someone truly listened to you and your feelings.
  • How did you know that they were listening and focused on only you?
  • How did it feel to have someone’s full attention on you?
  • How does it feel to listen without interrupting, without giving advice and without changing the story to fit your own life?
Action
  • Practice being fully present with your conversations today.
  • Give the other person your full attention without thinking about other things or how you might respond to them.
  • Look directly at the person who is speaking and listen with your heart.
