I have been very conscious of trying to do thisl. I want to be less like a mother hen, by not giving my opinions unless asked directly, listening very closely, and being less jealous, as is one other of my goals. I know one of my friends in particular is a very strong supporter of me, and always kept positive, but I sometimes felt she was not being 100 per cent honest with me when I asked her opinions about htings. Now I am turning off outside voices and listening to actual words and tuning into body language, and this is helping me be more receptive.
