Exercise 2: Mindful listening
There’s a saying that God created us with two ears and one mouth for a reason. We are meant to listen more than we talk!
So, do you really listen when having conversations with others? Do you engage in mindful listening where you focus on the person talking, their facial expressions, body language and tone of voice? Most importantly, do you really listen to their words?
We often think that we’re active listeners when in fact, we’re anything but. Our minds wander as we nod absently, our eyes dart around looking at other things and people. Our minds race ahead as we think of what we’re going to say in reply. That’s not mindful listening.
Practice this exercise by listening mindfully to at least one person every day:
– Bring your full attention to the person speaking and firmly dismiss any distracting thoughts.
– Keep your body still, don’t fidget or fiddle with your hands. Look fully into the person’s face and make eye contact.
– Listen intently to what is being said. Do not interrupt or think ahead for a reply. Just listen.
– Be aware of the person’s body language and tone of voice.
– When it’s your turn to speak, pause for a moment and organize your thoughts and words. Give a reply that reflects that you have listened carefully or ask questions that reflect that you have listened intently.
– Later, take a moment to recall one important thing that the person said and one important detail, such as the color of their eyes or what they were wearing.
As you learn to listen mindfully, your own words will become wiser and more empathetic. Your relationships on every level will improve. People feel appreciated and valued when they are heard, and your attention will be reciprocated. You’ll always find willing and attentive listeners in others as well.
It also goes without saying that being a mindful listener will make you wildly popular as well!
Exercise 3: Mindful senses
This exercise is best practiced outdoors when you’re walking down the street, sitting in the park or along a nature stroll, for example. It involves engaging all of your senses other than sight.
Our fast-paced digital lifestyle has dulled our senses to a great degree. We rarely stop to smell the roses. Practice the following steps to keep your senses sharp, and yourself more present.
– Instead of merely looking at things, unfocus your eyes a little and use your sense of sight, touch, and smell to become mindful of your surroundings.
– Become aware of different sounds such as distant voices, car horns, dogs barking, and so on.
– If you’re in nature, identify as many sounds as you can; wind rustling through trees, birds singing, waves crashing on the beach and so on. You’ll be surprised at how many individual sounds you can pick up.
– Bring your full awareness to these sounds that normally, you would never notice.
– Next, engage your sense of smell. Perhaps you can smell cooking; try to identify what it is. It may be the scent of flowers or freshly-mown grass. Inhale deeply and become mindful of these various smells.
– Engage your sense of touch by taking off your shoes and feeling the soft grass under your feet, stroking the petals of a flower or a branch.
Practice this exercise whenever you are outdoors to keep you more mindful throughout your day. You can practice at the mall or grocery store as well. These places offer a wide variety of sounds, smells and textures to hone your senses.
