How Are You?

How many times a day do you ask this question? How often do you listen to the answer?

As you make the morning rounds, you probably dole out just as many “How are you’s?” as you get asked yourself. Today, actually listen to the answer. Spending valuable time listening to someone’s feelings will work wonders for a sense of community and everyone can always use a listening ear. So, instead of complaining to the folks in IT, see how they’re doing. Instead of avoiding your boss, ask how the weekend was. Instead of just telling the barista your drink order, find out about their morning. Three simple words and five quick minutes just might make someone’s day.
