A Simple Hack for Better Conversations
Try it this weekend for more thoughtful interactions
I read about this hack, again š
In a conversation, before you reply to someone, take a breath.
No, not a deep breath that makes the person mistake it for boring you, but a small breath enough to break your usual hastened response.
Our fast-paced life has affected how we talk with those around us. We expect that we need to jump in right when the person speaking takes the slightest pause. In fact, we start āformulatingā the response much before that.
This extra moment gives your brain some room for a more thoughtful response.
Try it this weekend and see how it affects your conversationsā¦
