Have you heard or have you listened



so hearing something and listening are two completely different things. One is you have heard the person and gone off and made up your own stories about what the other person has said. The other Listening is when you actually hear what they have said and take it all in and remember it. 

 So i will give you an example: 

 we have all played this game or i hope you have at some stage in your life and it is called "Chinese Whispers" this what i call a hearing game it means you hear something and you go with what you heard but you haven't really listened to what the other person has said 

 If i am going for a coffee with my family or friends I am listening I am taking in all that they have to say so that I can ask questions and then remember it for next time so that when they talk to me next time its as if they were just talking to me yesterday ( sometimes i can go months without seeing or talking to people) 

 So my readers I want you to try something for me the next time you go and have a juice coffee or wine with a friend or loved one I want you to try and listen to them and remember what they had said to you then the next time they speak to you or you see them say remember what you said last time and I am sure that they will be shocked because they will feel valued as a person and an individual.

I just had an anxiety attack before 3pm Sydney Australian time

Hey Readers  So I wanted you to know this because I am an open book, I think that mental health is something that we should talk more about. I know that some of you reading this will ask yourselves why is this person telling a complete stranger about this but I think it is worth talking about as uncomfortable as it is for you reading it and me writing it. So I have had anxiety since I was 8 years old or maybe 10 years old, When I have an anxiety attack I usually find it scary because I hyperventilate and because this happens I panic because I can't breathe from it which makes me cry.  So ten minutes ago I had an anxiety attack and it was the 1st one I have had since high school ( as I am writing this I am crying) It was the scariest thing because it has come out, of nowhere, out of thin air. I know that for some of you this will be uncomfortable to read this but I don't want any of you to feel like you are alone ever.  I want you my readers to know that I am an...
