Give those you love 8 minutes
– I heard recently that the practice of giving someone going through something, has a lot on their mind, or experiencing sorrow or pain—giving them 8 minutes of your time to listen and be present with them can greatly improve their outlook on life and the situation and feel comforted. – Just listen, and ask curious questions to learn more and show interest. – Advice need only be given if asked
– Recognize someone you love in your life you could give 8 minutes to – Also, be ready and willing to ask someone to give you 8 minutes.
