Exercise of The Month - When you're listening, really listen.

Your life will flourish when it is filled with gratitude and giving. As we take time to be aware of and give thanks for the many blessings we receive our days are filled and joyful.

So many times we can't even begin to hear another person because we're paying so much attention to the voices inside our head. Many people are far more concerned with how they will respond and the impression they're making than about what the other person is saying.

Give your full attention to the other person. Forget about yourself for a while. Really listen when you're listening. Respond spontaneously.

When another feels really listened to and heard, they feel loved.
