Say Less, Listen More...                                            By:  Denise Orsulak

I need to say less and listen more....Most times it really doesn't matter what I think.  Thinking is over rated.  Saying less and listening more is a skill that is tough to master.  Everyone is trying to figure out what is going on inside of them and how to relate to this world.  By saying less and listening more, you might provide the space that someone needs to feel and understand what they themselves need without another's interpretation. 

My interpretation of an event or experience in someone else's life could be dead wrong.  So just listening without thinking of a response could do wonders for another.  Or asking thoughtful questions instead of giving advise.  We can't change someone else's perceptions or expectations.  They can only do that for themselves.

We can say less and listen more for ourselves as well by just sitting, and letting thoughts come, and releasing the judgements that often come with the thoughts.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEDIATE, just find quiet and give yourself time to sit, especially if you WANT to meditate.  If you go, go, go all the time...This is a good place to start. 

Without judgements, we can become more accepting of what is and be OK with that. 

Good luck with the above practice.  I know I need to think about this often.

If you have any thoughts or insights to share, please comment below!  I would love to hear from you. 

Warmly,

Denise

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I have been coming to Balanced For Life Yoga Therapy for about 2 years. I am grateful for every class I attend. I feel stronger and have gained endurance over the past year, especially by attending Core Strength and Core Cardio. These classes are unlike any others in that Denise is very conscientious and aware of how we are moving, making sure our alignment is optimal for ease of movement. I feel more balanced, happy, energetic, and confident. I love how the classes encourage me to listen to my body, instead of "push" through. Thank you!"
-Grace K. Berwyn, PA

I come in class excited about being there, stressed from the week's activities or tired from the daily grind. l always leave refreshed, optimistic, and feeling like I can take on the world. My body and mind thank me for practicing at Balanced For Life and yours will too." -Chris B.  Devon, PA

"​I am loving the sets of series Denise has been offering. It is great to go deeper to connect mind and body through breath, meditation and yoga. She offers a strong understanding of what she teaches. There has been plenty of time for discussion and questions which has deepened our understanding. Furthermore, she meets us each where we are to help in our journey. Thanks, Denise!" -Cammy W. Berwyn, PA
