Listen...

Too often we are around others and as they are speaking with us, our thoughts are already way ahead of them with what it is we want to say next.

But to listen to someone's words and truly take them in is a gift....for both you and the person you are with at that moment.  You learn about, support, and possibly love that person even more.  And they feel supported by you being present to them.

Listening is what connects us on a deeper level, so starting today, listen to what is being said. Reflect those words back to the person you are talking with.

And there are other things in our days to listen to:

Listen to your breathing.   Fill your body with air (through your nose), inflating your stomach and reaching all the way down to your toes.  Release the air through your mouth, blowing out all the air that has cleaned your cells and rids you of unhealthy air and thoughts.

Listen to your neighborhood.  Are the birds singing?  The waves crashing?  The neighbors laughing?

Listen to your heart.  What do you need today to make your heart happy no matter what is going on?
If you can, fulfill that need for yourself.  Or find one that you can achieve within the next 24 hours.  These are pearls of love that you give yourself.

May this day be the start of listening to all around you.

Hugs,

Colleen :-)
