When someone really listens to you with the desire to understand, rather than just waiting to reply, not only does it feel good, it makes you want to speak honestly from your heart. Try it out yourself in your next conversation. Notice if you’re truly listening or just formulating your next comment. It’s refreshing for both of you when you actually relax and take in what they’re saying. What comes out of your mouth in response may even surprise you. When you stay present, everything you say flows from your authentic being…
Naturally.
