Who Doesn’t Need a Kick in the Tush? from Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No one is as deaf as the man who will not listen. ~ Jewish Proverb<\/p>\n

Imagine Dear Tushkateers, Devotees of Our Lady of Weight Loss and anyone else who has landed on these pages, what it would be like if we really listened to each other?<\/p>\n

You know, instead of half-listening; instead of \u2018sort of\u2019 paying attention while multi-tasking, or just plain zoning out, or \u2013 most commonly \u2013 anxiously awaiting for the \u2018listenee\u2019 (a.k.a. the speaker) to pause for a millisecond, so that you can jump right in with your brilliance.<\/p>\n

Well, for one thing, the person to whom you are listening would enjoy the extraordinary experience of being \u201cheard, \u201cseen\u201d and \u201cwitnessed.\u201d \u00a0And YOU, the person who is actively listening, would be exercising your observational powers and, in so doing, you might just perceive more than you normally do.<\/p>\n

You might understand the \u2018listenee\u2019 on a whole new level. You may have even \u201cheard\u201d the golden nuggets of what was left unsaid!<\/p>\n

To help you to listen, Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> thought it might be helpful \u00a0for me to share with you…
\n… The 7 Don\u2019ts of ACTIVE LISTENING!!!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> allow your brain to race ahead of your lips! We speak at about 100 to 150 words per minute, but we think at 250 to 500. Just listen!<\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> anticipate what will be said. Just listen!<\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> be distracted by the people or things around you. Keep your eyes focused on the \u201clistenee.\u201d Just listen!<\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> interrupt. Allow her\/him to finish their thought. Just listen!<\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> plan your responses as the speaker is speaking. Just listen!<\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> give advice unless specifically asked for it. Just listen!<\/p>\n

DO NOT<\/b> share every single story from your own life that might relate to what the \u201clistenee\u201d is saying. Just listen!<\/p>\n

What does this have to do with Permanent Fat Removal a.k.a. Weight Loss?<\/em><\/p>\n

Active Listening is a part of Our Lady of Weight Loss’s healthy living plan.\u00a0 She and I work in a whole life model, which means that weight loss does not live in its little fat-free container \u2026 alone.<\/p>\n

One area of life impacts on the other.\u00a0 Certainly, your ability to build strong relationships with the people in your life can help to support other areas of life. Think about that!!!<\/p>\n
