kris320 wondering if i will ever get along with my husband!
i very much need to be cognizant of my role in personal interactions. i tend to dominate conversations and really need to break that habit!

How I did it: By taking time to breathe. Letting myself recognize the discomfort of a pregnant pause in a conversation, but breathing through it, unless my thoughts really needed to be spoken, in which case I'd be to the point as possible and then leave room for others. Read how I did it…

I don’t know how I had become a talker and not a listener. It really annoys me when people are like this and yet I had become that type of person. I guess for me to do this I discovered that I have to pay more attention to myself. Now, when someones talking I remind myself that I don’t need to add something to every thing that person says. In doing this I’m no longer sitting there while someone is talking and thinking of the next thing I’m going to say. This then allows me to pay more attention to what the person I’m talking with is saying.

I’ve definitely been creating more space and peaceful non-talkingness in my life :) It feels good… but I don’t know how much I’m really open to listening to the woes of others right now either – I’m in a fairly nutral zone of not bogging people down with my stuff, but not really going out of my way to get people to open up either…

The worse I do at this… it’s been really bad the last few weeks. I need to shut up!

I was a quiet child. Didn’t speak, then I was a chatterbox for several years of being heard but not listened to. Now I am finding comfort in embracing being quiet again. The world is such a better place for me when I don’t say much. All I need is a hands on activity.

Losing the calm balance I had going for a while. I’m in a bit of a tizzy and need to BREATHE and absorb into a more central core again. Time to SHUT UP until I can be sure I’m coming from a meditive clarity in my speach and in my being :)

To push others to talk in class but hold back some myself :)

I tend to end up steamrollering through the silence, sharing, but also filling it with my own voice so they can’t get in a word, or share what matters to them. I’ll have more fullfilling loved filled relationships if I can learn to settle into the silence and leave space for them to open up. So, SHUT UP ALREADY!
