Happy Monday, I hope youre all doing well laugh

Mindful Listening

When you are fully focussed on what someone else says you do not get caught up in your head with anxious thoughts like What can I say next but your response will come more naturally. So, the next time, you talk to someone I invite you to listen closely to their words. You can also train this by for example listening to a meditation and focussing on each single word.

Some of you might already do this, some might find it more challenging, so try and let us know if you felt any different in what you were listening too.

They say that's the reason we have two ears and one mouth! The ratio of listening/talking is 2:1.

Hi all,

Just checking in, thank you for keeping held - I've really managed to hold myself by being here. Nice to know everyone here is to better themselves - I meditated this morning and this lunch.

I meditated yesterday as well and have been doing so daily. I used to everyday a while back and it's one practice that really keeps me grounded.

I've got a lot to sort out - and I'm really glad to have this website in which I can check-in every now and again.

Hi strawberries, thanks for checking inlaugh. I am glad this site and meditation helps, to me meditation is a very effective tool.,

When I did this exercise I realized that apart from improving listening, less is going on in my head, before I just focussed on understanding the other person better but there are actually 2 different things going on, 2 different benefits.

@soulsings

Soul, I like your point about "nice answers", it's a skill and from what I have seen here, you are very good at it.
