Perhaps you hear them speak but you don’t really listen to what they say. Pay attention to how you listen to others.
You may also feel the shift in how you relate with others as a result of carving out time to be with yourself. You may be surprised at how making time to connect with others shifts the quality of your relationships. Take a look at your weekly calendar and schedule a date night with your partner, a lunch or activity with a friend, and some quiet time for yourself to simply be still and reflect. In today’s world, there’s a bigger emphasis on running around and getting things done than there is on making time to connect with others. When you make eye contact and choose to be completely present with other people, it cultivates a level of trust and safety that allows them to open up even more. Many people in today’s busy world feel unseen and under appreciated. It’s been said that the eyes are the gateway to the soul. It’s another simple and powerful way to connect on a deeper level. Whether you’re passing by a stranger or engaging with a friend, make eye contact. You never know when a heartfelt smile will come at just the right time and have the positive effect that person may need. Whether it’s a bright, cheerful smile offered to a perfect stranger in passing, or a tender smile toward a close friend or loved one, this is an easy way to deepen your connection. Smiling at another person is one of the simplest ways to connect with them, and it only takes a second. Deepen your relationships with friends, family, your partner, peers, and coworkers using these tips. Yet it’s through your connections to other people that you find the biggest rewards. Relationships require work-you’re called to practice the art of giving and receiving. It’s easy to think you have it all together when you’re flying solo through the carnival of life. Life’s biggest lessons, opportunities, and gifts are found in your connections with others.
