Shhhhhhhh………………
I had a conversation I thought was a bit confusing and it was at first until I listened. What was it? Well, believe it or not It was super simple. I was thanked for just listening. Yes, a friend shared situation and circumstance and it was extended and I just listened. What actually happened she was able to actually figure it out and stated later her energy had returned and was able to get focused on her goals in life once again.
Sounds good, she explained most people she spoke to begin to interrupt and inject their stories then directing her what to do without hearing her out. WOW, so easy to do. But they never listened to her.
Shhhhhh…….
Sometimes we just need to listen. Sometimes listening is so great when people can hear their own voice and begun aware of their mental health setting and what they need to do. Of course, a few are shy of seeking help and at the end we can gently guide them there. However, for many a mental health review just having someone to listen, not compare, inject, JUST LISTEN.
So today I ask of you are you a listener? or an injector or maybe taking over and discuss your situation instead of really listening. I am now evaluating myself as a friend and listener. However, I must say listening does not mean to allow someone to discuss and drain you of energy. If you note negativity being high, I say Shhhh and ease away from the conversation and that’s for your mental health.
You decide your stance.
