Day 4:
Mindful Listening

1. Find a friend or a family member. If you choose to communicate virtually with someone, use a video platform to communicate as naturally as possible.

2. Simplify your surroundings. Sit in a space with this person that is free of technology and clutter. Choose a calming space.

3. Take 3 - 5 mindful breathes with this person.

4. Ask this person to tell you a short story. This can be anything.

5. As this person speaks, pay complete attention to what they are saying, not letting your thoughts distract you and not planning what to say.

6. When they are done speaking, ask this person what it was like to be fully heard by you.
