Hi Bloggers! Do you consider yourself a good listener? “Everyone on the planet wants to be known and heard.”
Dr. Eric Berne. How do you know when someone actually heard what you said? Do they acknowledge you verbally or non verbally?
When you know someone didn’t hear what you said do you attempt to say it a second time? It can be challenging with some people that just tune you out.
I believe that if everyone could recognize the other person’s opinions, comments etc that we would live in a perfect world. Well none of us is perfect. That’s right none of us. When you discover that the other person didn’t hear you or they ignored you it can be frustrating. I care to know what you do or not do with that frustration.
I suggest the way out of a negative feeling (frustration) is a positive decision followed by action is a way to start.
There isn’t much you can do with “frustration” except eat, drink, etc. Stuff your feelings with things. How good is that? Isn’t it easier to handle it verbally or non verbally? Until next time, practice your listening skills and be aware of how it affects you in the big picture!
