How well do you listen?
There is an effective way to listen but most of the time we do not do it that way. As you have been talking to someone have you ever experienced them just cutting you off and interrupting you? Or they are just staring into space and not present? Or they just come back and argue with what you have said?
Well I have done all of these and realized that I was not fully listening, my biggest challenge is keeping my mind focused and still. I realized that my mind was extremely undisciplined and I was self-obsessed that I was not even present when they were speaking. The key for me is to sit and listen to each word they are speaking; sometimes I have to repeat the words they are saying in my mind as their speaking.
I am striving to be a better listener and to be engaged.
