Am I sharing or am I "selling?" This is a question I often - TopicsExpress



          

Am I sharing or am I "selling?" This is a question I often remember when I engaged in conversation. The question requires me to stop for a second and EXPERIENCE what is happening. I have experienced what it feels like in the body when sharing is happening. It is easy, relaxed, no tension because there is no investment in getting the other to agree. And when selling is happening, there is a tension, perhaps in the solar plexus or back of the neck, and a general feeling of anxiousness throughout the body. Listening is happening, but its emphasis is in formulating an answer rather than simply listening. And the goal that is often camouflaged or completely hidden is to get agreement. Thus it becomes a "selling" of ideas rather than a sharing. This understanding - and this question - help me to STOP...get in touch with what is really happening...and allows me to relax into simply listening. And it gives me the connection with the other and with myself that I long for. What a relief that is!! Love...
