Communication starts from "listening to yourself to understand" first.

Many people believe that communication is "speaking to people to understand."

But in fact... communication always starts with "listening to yourself to understand" first.

We are taught to listen to others, but rarely are we told, "We must also listen to ourselves."

Because if we don't listen, we don't know what we're feeling, what we want, or what we're going against.

So we became people who spoke without knowing why.

Allow because you don't want to be conflicted or angry without understanding that we're actually sorry.

When we don't listen to ourselves, we won't be clear to ourselves.

And when we are not clear to ourselves, we also begin to "listen to others without understanding."

Sometimes we listen to find answers. We don't listen to understand.

We listen to protect. We don't listen to open up.

We listen to argue. We don't listen to connect.

The practice of listening to yourself is therefore not a small thing, but it is "the foundation of listening to others."

Because we will never understand anyone deeper than the level at which we understand ourselves.

Try to stand still a little

Listen to the voice that's in your heart now - what's that voice saying to you?

It can be a voice that says tired, sorry, or want to rest.

Or maybe it's a little voice that wants you to start again.

Every time you choose to listen to yourself, every time you come back to your "honest relationship with your heart."

And when you really start listening - you know that listening to others is easier, deeper and warmer.

Because "self listening" doesn't just change your listening.

But it changes both you, the person who listens, and the world in front of you.
