It's an inquiry and lesson and daily new practice
Wow me not talking!
A conscious mind ! Mindset !
I do talk to myself !
I have to practice and talk to my self a lot and I have developed the practice of putting my 5 tips of my fingers together when I am actively listening.

It helps me to breathe recalibrate and listen .
This practice will need to reminded often to myself and I will need a accountability coach to keep it alive and as open positive ritual and practice all my days alive .

O so profound
Thank you for the awareness new language and continued learning

With  learning presence
Thank you all

Thank you Rebecca
