Sharpen your listening skills/Are you listening……?

Like everyone else, the Brainready team often gets accused of not listening. It’s not that we don’t try; we just have so many thoughts running through our head and can’t focus on everything.

Attentive listening is not only a skill, but also a process that can actually help focus your thoughts and stop your mind wandering.

Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things.
The goal of attentive listening is to improve your understanding by focusing on what’s really been said and what they mean.

In addition, attentive listeners have relational goals like giving a positive impression, advancing the relationship, or demonstrating care....
