Challenging and fun week
Week 5 of MKMME continues to challenge and produce results. This week the challenge of being the observer and having no opinions has been added. I found that I am very opinionated. I never realized how much of the conversations I engage in are mostly a back and forth of opinions, in an effort to disagree or agree. I am enjoying the role of observer and the peace that not giving an opinion is providing me. Becoming a better listener is rewarding, and I am grateful for that improvement. My brain has less to deal with and that has a welcome freeing affect giving me peace and more room for other thoughts.

I’m still catching myself giving opinions, but you’re right, it’s a lot less stressful to let other people battle it out on the opinion front!

Nicely done Michael. Your comments on being the observer and how that is relaxing or comforting are very perceptive. Keep up the good work. There’s a lot more fun to come.

When I act as an observer i actively listen and in the conversation and I may say one or two words about facts but no more. This gave me peace of mind and serenity. Congratulation and thanks for sharing Micheal.
