You may notice that you are paying closer attention to people today. It could be easier to listen and respond to the thoughts and ideas of others as a result. You might want to use this sense of awareness to become more attuned to the ways you normally interact with other people. While speaking with others today, you could observe their body language and think about how they are responding to you. If you find that they fidget or that their breathing seems a little constricted, you might want to limit what you say and give the other person an opportunity to speak. You can also become aware of how often you tend to interrupt or the way in which you make requests and suggestions. You may find that your interactions become easier as a result of your increased attentiveness.

Watching our interactions helps us improve our relationships with other people. In any form of communication, problems arise. Messages can be easily misinterpreted by all of us. By increasing our understanding of our communication style, however, we can work toward bettering our interactions. Observing how others react to us is a potent way to ensure that our communications become more productive--even when we are in the midst of a misunderstanding. When we enhance this sense of awareness, we respond to another person from a place of wholeness and appreciation as opposed to a desire to be the center of attention. Being aware of your communication style today will give you a powerful tool to enrich your interactions.
