And for my next challenge...

My goal for the next two weeks is to listen more. I love a good conversation, unfortunately however I am often quite bad at really listening to the person who's talking.

I get caught up in the excitement of what I have to say (and of having someone to say it to!) and blurt it out, regularly cutting other people off.

I tend to keep up a fast pace (perhaps because with babies you're always aware of being on their schedule, not your own! Possibly also because I spend a lot of time without adult company, so I leap at the chance to talk about things other than The Wiggles and going to the potty...) and I'd like to slow down.

So - listening ears are on! I'm interested to see what impact this will have, both on relationships and on my stress levels. Hoping it will make for a calmer life...at least some of the time..
