Listening

What listening really means and why it’s important for me

I want to wish myself MORE Listening this year…

More listening means less thinking (the “bad” thinking, worry, anxiety…)

Less thinking means a quiet mind.

A quiet mind means peace, tranquillity, happiness, space for new fresh thinking, the “good” thinking, ie. new insight.

You either think or listen.

Even a meditation master who can stop their thinking, they’re still in a listening mode.

They’re focusing on their breathing, ie. listening to their breathing.

The opposite of listening is having a busy mind.

A busy mind blocks the channel that connects you with the universal wisdom, the intelligence, the energy that’s always there for you to tap into, if you decide to listen.

Children are good at listening! Children suck you in. They take you in. They absorb you.

And all of us going… “I’m curious… what are they thinking now?”

That’s the thing. They are not thinking. They’re listening. 🙂

You can’t figure out the solution to a problem by thinking.

Constant thinking over a problem will not give you the answer.

Forgetting the problem and going for a walk, ie. more listening (a meditative walk, connecting with nature) will give you the answer.

Less thinking will open the space for new insight to come to the surface.

I want more listening for myself in 2020!

More listening will help me understand and serve my clients better this year.

More listening will help me learn better from my coaches and teachers this year.

More listening will help me see the direction I want to go more clearly.

More listening will help me connect with my inner wisdom.

OK. That’s enough for New Year’s day!

What can I wish for you now, dear friends?

I want to wish you whatever will serve you best this year, no matter whether you see it or not right now.

Because sometimes we wish ourselves the wrong things. ☺️

With all my love,
Angelos
