Transition is always part of life, we are constantly growing, changing, learning, resting, and starting all over again. Balance comes with not holding on too tight and letting a few things go so we are not completely overloaded. You get to choose what to let go of and then relax and let the rest of the journey guide you.

Listening Techniques: “Do you want me to be a sponge or a boomerang?”

Being a sponge would be purely an active listening role, taking it in, and not commenting, criticizing or advising.  Just letting the person vent and get whatever issue it is off their chest.

Being a boomerang is also active listening but with the addition of giving objective feedback andasking clarifying questions to get to the heart of the matter by helping the person flesh outideas, feelings, thoughts, and maybe even make a plan of action.

Whether you are the listener or the talker, these techniques help your thinking, clarity and compassion for yourself and whoever you are talking with.
