Join in this episode at Feather & Foundation with our WOW word of Listen. Maybe not a splashy word, but a very important one. How can we be an active and engaged listener? Do we hear what people are saying with their words, but also in the nuance of what they are not saying? Speaking of listening, do we listen to our bodies, as well as our intuition and mind? So many levels of listening all important. Why not LISTEN to this episode!
This week's WOW word Listening came from several situations this past week. From playing with my granddaughter, to having a discussion of different point of view with someone, to experiencing a session of gentle stretching in listening to others, as well as my own body. How can be a more engaged listener? So often when we are in a discussion with someone else, we can be so busy planning on what we are going to say or respond that we aren't actually even listening to them at all. Can we give people space, and be free of judgment in differences? Can we learn to still value the person, even if we have different perspectives. How can we get back as a society to being okay to respectfully disagree? Being an active and engaged listener can go a long way in diffusing communication breakdowns and helps others to be heard. Also, in this episode we visit about listening to your body- what is it telling you? Where do you carry your stress? Who & what do you listen to as you go about your day? It is empowering and alignment of your goals, dreams and inspirations. Do you listen to yourself- your intuition and gut? Awareness can help us have discernment in listening. Thank you for listening to Feather & Foundation and liking, commenting and sharing with others- as we grow The Flock in spreading positivity, possibilities, joy, beauty & creativity.
