Here’s something I’m not very good at - listening. I find myself thinking about work, what I need to do, what I didn’t do, what I want to say, and a million other things. I’m in a conversation, but my mind is absent.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been trying to remain cognizant of this, to be fully present in my communication and intently focused on what the other person is wanting to say. It isn’t always easy, especially when the conversation is awkward, difficult, or passionate. But if both sides make it a point to be an active listener then meaningful communication occurs and progress is made. It is really incredible what happens when we are fully present in the moment and hear what the other side has to say, how they feel, and what they think. We become open to their perspective and empathetic.

Have any of you tried to become better listeners? Have you found meaningful progress made in your relationships by talking less and listening more? I’m interested in hearing what you have to say about this, as it’s something I’ve been trying to work on. written by Tyler Kent White
