THE BEST: A Life Manifesto

"a practical guide to making life count" By: GP Hintz

Listening to Yourself… Imperative to Success

If you’ve been reading THE BEST, then you know that one of the major principles throughout it is life transformation. In the 11th chapter we give some keys to listening that can help you find success in every area of your life. 

On page 178 we start looking at some subjects that link directly to the importance of listening to yourself. There are five main keys to learning how to listen to one’s self…

We Need to Learn How to Listen to Ourselves

Key 1: Schedule it! If you are not planning for something to happen, it normally doesn’t. Allow yourself to think ahead about your day and schedule some time to listen to yourself.

Key 2: Start Small. You don’t need to start with a week long retreat in the Himalayan Mountains to listen to yourself. Try five or ten minutes a day. You will find that this small success will lead to a greater desire for more and more time spent listening to your heart.

Key 3: Start Early or Late. Are you a night owl or an early riser? Use this to your advantage. Try to understand your ‘peak times’ throughout the day and schedule some time to listen to yourself during that time period.

Key 4: Enter into your time with a question. Many of us have questions about our self, our jobs, our relationships or any number of things that affect us on a daily basis. Enter into your listening time with a question at the forefront of your mind. You just may be surprised at what you hear.

Key 5: Listen with a Pencil, Pen or a Keyboard. When you have an expectation to hear, then you will often find the answers coming quickly and clearly. When we are prepared… we will hear. When the student is ready… the teacher will arrive.

This is just a quick synopsis of the importance of listening to one’s self. To learn more, make sure that you read chapter 11 from “THE BEST: a life manifesto”.
