Day 27: Practicing intentionally mindful listening
Thought:
Mindful listening is active listening and improves communication and understanding in relationships. Short, open questions encourage others to talk as you pay mindful attention to the details of the response.
Action Step:
Engage in conversations today where you practice mindful listening, focusing entirely on the other person without planning your response to each statement. Consider the feelings and emotions behind what the person is saying and let the conversation flow naturally instead of trying to formulate responses. Instead of thinking about what the person is saying and what you think about this, try saying to yourself, ‘what is this person saying in words and what is this person really saying if I look behind the words?’
James 1:19
"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."
