Listening is a part of self-advocacy
I was told long, long time ago, that we have two ears but only one mouth, so we need to take special attention to listening before we yap away.
Family, friends, peers, and professionals have great insights and may have a wealth of information to share with us.
It is also my experience that the image we project to others influences greatly what people will say to us. If we project confidence, maturity, and assertivenss, people will talk to us in a more positive and constructive manner.
A funny thing is we need to listen to ourselves. What is our body, mind, and heart trying to tell us? May be we need to make a change, try a new opportunity, or may be we need to hang in there when the going gets tough. I feel in the long run, we make our own possibilities and potential.
