Raise your hand if you do the following:
After, virtually, every conversation I engage myself in, I do an instant-replay of the situation after I walk away... or on the drive home... or as I'm falling asleep at night... etc. I always wonder..
-Did I talk about ME/MY children too much?
-Was I a good listener?
-Did I pay quality attention to what the other person was saying?
-Was I polite?
-Was I dismissive of the other person's feelings, opinions, ideas, etc.?
-Did I show that I really did care?
-Was I mean or nice?
Please tell me that there are others out there like me. I wish I was a "slow-talker." I feel like I'm always rushing myself and not allowing for good quality conversation. Hmm. Maybe this is another example of how I think too much.
Together we can celebrate the craziness of a life full of children, chores, working, working out, eating, eating healthy, and most importantly, ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO BE THE BEST VERSIONS OF OURSELVES because we and all of the people we love deserve it!
ALWAYS. :)
