Ask.
Listen.
Care.
Open.
Consider.
Be humble and vulnerable.
Be kind.
Allow not knowing.
Call, talk, converse. Don’t hide behind a screen or messaging.
Don’t think your way of seeing it is the way it is for the other person.
Notice when you close.
Notice when you get defensive.
Notice how attached you are to your views and ideas.
Check if you could be judging yourself and unconsciously protecting yourself from that.
Notice if you need to be the one in control.
The shaky ground outside of our comfort zone is often where we can meet each other anew and more deeply.
