This week's tip is to spend some time listening to others. When was the last time that you were in a conversation where you truly listened to the other person? Where you were not trying to think of something intelligent|witty|sarcastic|newsworthy to say? Probably quite a while ago.
Listening is a really powerful skill. I use it often when I am health counseling and it is amazing how I can help and learn so much from others simply by allowing them the time, space, and atmosphere to speak to me and truly be heard. When you bring this component into your personal life, you allow the person speaking to you to fully express themselves. Strengthen your relationships and start new ones by simply asking how someone is and truly listening to them.
Try it out this week. See how you feel and how others react when you give them 100% of your attention. Let me know how it goes!
