The Power of Buzzwords
Buzzwords are a form of mental prompts that empower you to look to yourself for answers and propel you to action in a positive and proactive way. This month I bring you a buzzword from my book’s Life section. With our lives filled to the brim for a multitude of reasons, I share this buzzword to inspire you to “listen” in a whole new way—be it your inner voice, relationships, or the world around you.
This month’s buzzword is:
Listen Closely
I believe many of us may feel that we always listen, but today, when our brains are busy doing so many things at once, we do not really listen. The buzzword “Listen Closely” reminds us to be here in the moment, take a breath, and pause to listen to all that life truly has to offer. Our universe is a magnificent place, and it is teaching us every day, through nature, through our bodies, and through our interactions with others. In life, listening closely can help us experience moments in ways that enrich and fulfill us. With our bodies, listening closely helps us hear the warning signs that our intricate and amazing bodies are telling us. In our relationships, listening closely helps us reconnect and rediscover each other. This buzzword applies not only to the words that are spoken but also to what is not said or what one’s body language is telling us. When we are truly present for ourselves, we can be fulfilled and bring harmony to our body, mind, and spirit. When we are truly present for others, we can make them feel loved, respected, supported, and valued.
