Listen Up! Improving our listening skills
How good are we at listening to each other? Scientists have been listening for signals from aliens. Sadly, none have been received. In our relationships we give and receive signals every moment. Improving these skills are vital for well-being. This episode explores ways to improve our listening to build better relationships. We can “Listen Up” by:
Focusing our attention
Letting go of our agenda
Paying attention to non-verbal signals
Spirituality involves listening by God and to God
