Be an Active Listener | Happiness Tip#64

Listening is key to all effective communication and the ability to send, receive and interpret messages correctly. Effective communication happens when we focus on the context and content with the intentions not to interrupt or respond but rather just to be on the same wavelength.

Active listening is a whole body/soul activity. Listen more carefully, attentively, and sympathetically, without judging, interfering or distracting, while imparting support and understanding to the speaker.

A good listener always comes across as a wise person, who can understand and empathize with others. The good listening skills leads to more meaningful relations and less frustrating situations in our daily life.

How to Listen Actively?

Active listening refers to a method of listening that keeps you actively connected with your conversation partner in a positive way. It is the process of listening attentively – the whole body listening while someone else speaks. The best way is to do paraphrasing and reflecting back what is said, withholding your judgment and advice.

Try to capture the non-verbal clues. Observe the tone, the body language and the gestures of the speaker.

Maintain your focus, eye contact, show that you’re listening by nodding, smiling and leaning towards the speaker.

Active listening helps in recognizing other person’s perspective. It helps us to appreciate them at right time.

Attentive listening not only encourages to resolve conflicts but also helps in fostering a culture of respect.
