Active listening

Hi I am Sakura!

Personary, I want to improve "active listening " skill to understand my friends or others more.

An article said that there are 3 steps to improve listening.

First, attitude to listen to someone's talk is so important.

You can turn toward the person who you want to understand, and look at the person's eyes.

Folking your arms is a sign that you refuse a person or looking at your watch or outside is also a sign not to have an attention.

Secondly, mirroring is the powerful technique to get closer with a person.

You can copy the person's behavior to the extent possible. The person might find something congenial in you during talking.

Finally, you can alter by pharaphrasing.

When you repeat with different phrases, your friends or others might think "This person could understand me so well!"

And the person tend to talk to you more.

In the beginning, these technique are difficult to do in actual life even if you understand in your head. But keep trying over and over again.

You might make mistake first, but the notice become your asset in your life.
