How to Realign

🧭 7️⃣ How to Get Back on Course When You Slip

Even the best listeners slip into autopilot advice.

When you catch yourself:

Pause mid-talk. Say, “Wait — I’m sorry. I jumped into advice mode. Do you want that right now?”

Own it. People trust humility more than perfection.

Reset. Take a breath. Ask an open question instead of giving an answer.

✨ 8️⃣ Practice: One Conversation a Day

Choose one interaction daily to practice deep, mindful listening. No phone. No multitasking. No fixing. Just presence.

Like muscles, listening skills strengthen with reps.
