Listening Well

Listening well is not simply hearing the words being said, it’s also feeling the emotions being felt. People usually don’t want solutions as much as they just want to be understood.

What’s one area of your life that you keep trying to “solve” instead of simply understanding? This doesn’t have to necessarily be a relationship either. People try to “solve” their health problems with fad diets, when often they first need to develop an awareness of the emotions that enable the problems in the first place.

In my own life, I’ve often tried to “solve” my creativity by over-planning books and projects, when really I just needed to sit down and create and understand what I was feeling.

Try being a better listener this week—of others, but also of yourself. Don’t just focus on the information, focus on the feeling. Then sit with that feeling. Don’t try to fix it or push it away. Just let it be there and then simply seek to understand why it’s there.

This is Emotional Intelligence 101 and most of us suck at it. - Mark Manson
