Learn Three Sentences a Day: DAY16

Привет! 😁 Читаю очередную статью о важности баланса, гармонии в нашей жизни. Мне кажется, тема интересная! 
Сейчас мир как будто сходит с ума. 🤯 Все куда-то спешат. 🏃‍♀️🏃
Нужно быть лучше, богаче, успешнее, много работать, учиться, заниматься спортом, качественно отдыхать и, конечно же,  общаться с близкими, родными, друзьями. 
Все мы разные. Есть, например, люди-трудоголики, которые живут работой и не находят ни на что больше времени. ⏳️ 
И тут я задумалась, есть ли в моей жизни баланс.🤔🙃 
Вот в статье пишут, что всего выделяют 6 сфер: 
1. Семья и дом 
2. Финансы и карьера 💶
3. Саморазвитие и образование 📚
4. Тело и здоровье 🤸‍♀️ 
5. Общество и культура 🗣
6. Духовное развитие и этика. 🤠
А как ты думаешь, твоя жизнь гармонична? 

Ты со мной? 

Баланс 

今天分享的是鲁迅先生的一段话，我个人非常喜欢。

“愿中国青年都摆脱冷气，只是向上走，不必听自暴自弃者流的话。能做事的做事，能发声的发声。有一分热，发一分光。就令萤火一般，也可以在黑暗里发一点光，不必等候炬火。此后如竟没有炬火，我便是唯一的光。”

鲁迅：《愿中国青年都摆脱冷气》

Have you  asked someone about their weekend and accidentally axed an entire department... right before Christmas?

Me neither.. thanks to this one simple trick.

SMART Goals for Active Listening:
Here are some examples of SMART goals you can set to improve your active listening skills:

1. Improve comprehension in work meetings:

Specific: I will actively listen during all team meetings by summarizing key points after each agenda item.
Measurable: I will track the number of times I summarize key points and the accuracy of my summaries based on colleague feedback.
Attainable: I will start by summarizing after one agenda item per meeting, then gradually increase to all items over a month.
Relevant: Improved comprehension will lead to better participation and decision-making in meetings.
Time-bound: I will implement this for the next 3 months and evaluate progress then.
2. Enhance communication with family:

Specific: I will practice active listening with my partner by reflecting back their emotions and using open-ended questions during evening conversations.
Measurable: My partner will provide feedback on whether they feel heard and understood by my responses.
Attainable: I will focus on actively listening during one conversation per evening for the next two weeks.
Relevant: Improved communication will strengthen my relationship with my partner.
Time-bound: I will practice this for two weeks and then discuss adjustments with my partner.
3. Become a more supportive friend:

Specific: I will actively listen to a friend facing a challenge by maintaining eye contact, avoiding interruptions, and offering summaries of their situation.
Measurable: My friend will report feeling supported and understood after our conversation.
Attainable: I will dedicate focused listening time during one conversation with a friend per week for a month.
Relevant: Active listening will help me be a more supportive friend.
Time-bound: I will implement this for one month and then reflect on its impact on our friendship.
Remember, these are just examples. You can modify them to fit your specific needs and goals!

If you put something off, you postpone it, or delay it until a later time. For instance, "let's put the meeting off until next week".
