The Art Of Listening

This article is brought to you by SIFSG Productions, and not to be mistaken with sfg productions. After my morning routine of yoga and moderate exercise I listened to Athena’ live sunrise beach yoga, I felt my day beginning to flow with the intention of, having an awesome day. My cardio and walking yoga gave me, my jump start.

I ran my errands as usual, and I ended up at a neighborhood Walmart. As I waited in line to be checked out, the cashier and I engaged in small talk. To my surprise, I was listening to a story of an 8-year-old adopted boy giving gratitude for the simple pleasures in his life. The cashier is at retirement age, and I would have thought she would boast about her final years of “work”, she spoke of her pride and joy in her great nephew. I thanked the cashier for sharing her story and as I walked to my car, I felt compelled to share the importance of, “listening”. I was given the “golden” opportunity to really listen.

Mindfulness is an act of planting seeds of kindness and, take time to listen to each other no matter how mundane it seems. It is in the moment of caring, there are no worries, no fears of, the turmoil going on around us. We allow a beautiful life to simply unfold. Take time to “be”.
