Most of us have been there; in a meeting, listening to the other person’s arguments, but not really listening, instead focusing on what to say next, how to make the conversation serve me, my argument. Not listening to understand. The outcome? Maybe I got what I wanted short term. But information would have been lost, as well as faith & trust from the other person. Most of us only hear bits of what is being said, due to our internal ramblings and projections. The inner voice is often judging the other person as well as one self, and our circumstances.
Most feelings of stress, anxiety, frustration and disappointment are the direct results of our inner judge.
Thankfully, we can all learn how to tame it…which is even more important during all this time spent at home! How? Contact me to find out: ellinor@ekvilum.dk
