Episode 257: What seeds will you sow now?

Last time, I talked about seizing the opportunity to use an annual, or at least periodic, event to check in on ourselves.

What seeds have we sown? What are we reaping? If you did check in, and you don’t like what you see, what seeds will you sow now?

It would be good to think in terms of seeds: small things. Things that can grow, with attention, into bigger things. Not trying to plant a full oak tree, but an acorn with a seed inside.

Start small and build.  Make a commitment to try to change. Start with listening with respect.  Without distraction. Without impatience. Without eye-rolls, or other dismissive reactions – in person, by video, phone, text, whatever. No special techniques, tools, or training required.  Just listen. With respect. A seed to sow for an improved harvest.
