Recommit and Reconnect to Love – Day 26

Recommit and Reconnect to Love Day 26

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.  Just listen.  Not interrupt them. Not try and one-up them. Not look at electronics or interrupt in other ways. It seems we hear all the time, but at times, we forget to listen.

Today we would like you to listen to your partner. We are not talking active listening. Just listen. When they come home or you arrive home, make an effort to ask them how their day was before you launch into a full on attack about yours. Don’t agree or disagree. Don’t make faces. Don’t roll your eyes either. Just look at them and listen to what they have to say. When they are finished you can offer feedback, advice or whatever. Try to hold back any judgments or negative comments even if you have them.
