Here’s a reflection list to help you notice what you might want to bring when it’s your turn to be the one who speaks during an active listening practice.
So, take a moment to check in:
Is there something slightly uncomfortable, unclear, or tense in…
- 🧍♀️ A relationship (friend, partner, colleague, family)
- 🗣️ A recent conversation that stayed with you
- 😶 Something you didn’t say — or didn’t say the way you wanted
- 🔁 A recurring situation that mildly irritates or drains you
- ⚖️ A sense of imbalance (giving more than you receive, or the opposite)
- 🚧 A boundary that feels unclear or difficult to hold
- 🤔 A decision you’re postponing
- 😬 A vague discomfort you can feel but can’t quite name
- 🧠 An inner tension (part of you wants one thing, another part wants something else)
- 💬 A “it’s not a big deal” that might actually be a little one
It doesn’t need to be a big problem to solve.
Just something that’s taking up a bit of inner space.
