So this is something I am working hard on these days, and honestly I’m not sure if I’m succeeding.

I’m a talker. I’m an introvert with an extroverts mouth. I like to talk about things that interest me, and have become an expert at ensuring conversations focus around the things that I am interested in talking about. By doing this I am able to talk lots about things I think I know lots about.

I don’t like this trait very much!!!!

So…… I’ve been working really hard, as our world opens up and we get to hang out with people more, to be way better at listening and asking questions about others, than listen to myself. I’ve been trying to not offer my opinion on everything and instead allow others to speak and guide the conversation. Instead of thinking about my next thing to say I’m trying hard to listen to them and ask another question that allows them to talk more.

I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard. Not because I’m not enjoying hearing about others but because the habit is hard to break. There have been times I have found myself chatting away instead of continuing my new practise. It’s a journey and I think I can get there.

Thats enough about me – how are you? 😂
