Listening Persona - Imbalances

Having an openness in the form of being a good listener can actually have its imbalances. Caregivers such as counselors, massage therapists and teachers quickly learn that listening too openly can actually really throw off your health and happiness.

Being a a balanced listener means knowing when to say that you can't listen any longer.

[[[TRY TO DO A CHEST OPENER AGAINST THE WALL AND YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU REACH SOME KIND OF OPENNESS LIMIT. OF COURSE SOME PEOPLE LIKE CONTORTIONISTS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRAINED FOR A GREAT DEAL OF TIME HAVE THE FLEXIBLITY AND THE STRENGTH TO BE VERY OPEN BUT GENERALLY FOR SHORTER PERIODS OF TIME. JUST LIKE THIS EXERCISE IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE OF WHEN YOU'RE GETTING UNCOMFORTABLE SO YOU CAN EXCUSE YOURSELF AND DO SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO REJUVENATE YOURSELF.]]]
