Mountain Zen Den Podcast ~ Episode 19 – Listen

I have a stone in my studio with one word on it.  It says, “Listen”.

Ironically, I received it in a gift exchange from a guy whose wife had given it to him. You think she was trying to tell him something?

One of the best things you can do to show someone that you care about them is to Listen to them.

In fact, the three words that people long to hear even more than even “I love you” is “I hear you…”.

Active listening also happens to be one of the hardest things in the world to do.

Why is this?

Because it requires so much focus, and attention, intentional awareness, and frankly… caring.  And while it can take so much energy and focus, listening in nature can actually be a great way to unwind and relieve stress.

Join us for today’s show as we explore the question – “What areas of my life can I be more mindful and do more Active Listening?”

Glad you’re here!
