You might find it difficult to focus on what others are saying today. This may leave you feeling perplexed and confused about what is happening around you, which may lead to problems with communication. It could be that you are constantly thinking about what you want to say while others are talking. You might consider practicing active listening today. As you listen to another person, you can make an effort to focus on the words you hear. At appropriate times, repeat back what you have heard without adding your opinion using expressions such as 'so you mean' or 'What you seem to be saying is.' This technique helps you become consciously aware of what others are saying as well as a better listener.
Active listening helps us give our full attention to another person in our conversations. We tend to plan our responses when others are speaking and often miss the full point of what they have said. If we simply nod our heads during conversations, we do not demonstrate that we are truly engaged in the discussion. But by repeating what the other person has said during the conversation, we show what we have heard as we understand it. This lets someone else know that we are listening and whether or not we have comprehended the message fully. Active listening allows us to become attentive to another's needs in our interactions instead of thinking solely about our own. By learning to listen actively today, you will gain skills that will make your interactions more successful.
