"This I Believe- Listening Is Powerful Medicine"


"Listening Is Powerful Medicine" by Dr. Alicia Conill is a powerful essay about taking a moment to listen to others. I will tell you about some of the pointers that the author gives on listening. The first one is to sit down to listen so the person that is talking can recognize your attention for their story. The second teaching is to make eye contact meaning to not look at notes or computer. The last note is to put your hand on the patient. Focus on the story and let the person talking know that you are all ears. Sometimes people need to talk to release built up energy wether it's good energy or energy that is hurting them. So, I urge you to sit sometime and just be all ears.

Social Media = No Socializing

Social media= No socializing Social media has taken over the world. I feel as though social media is no more of a place to socialize and a place to get away like, writing or photography. Face-to-face interaction is more awkward than ever. Social has became a place to hide your face and feelings behind a screen. More people are starting to feel more comfortable with no interaction with other persons. Strangers on social media are more opt to talk to each other than in real life situations. Comfort is what others want in this life. No one takes a leap anymore in life. More leaps mean more socialization. More socialization means to be more open. Most of everyone wants to seek comfort in their home of no talking. I believe social media should be limited so others can seek discomfort.

Our Beliefs

Our Beliefs This blog entry asked of one person that I recognized to have the same belief as me. The belief that is most important to me. Maybe, that belief that I chose is Christianity. There's multiple people that come to mind but the most special person that comes to mind is my late aunt Cathy. She basically wore a halo around her and she didn't even recognize it but everyone she came in contact with, always noticed the beam of light coming from her. I recognized that light as Jesus' love. She was not one to drink alcohol, smoke, and I never heard her say a curse word a day in my life. She shined her saintly light and I strive to have a light just as bright as hers some day.

What Do I Hope To Get Out Of Class?

What do I hope to get out of this class? This year, I hope to get out of this class better writing skills. In this case, better typing skills. I enjoy writing. I feel as though its a way of expression. I feel like I never have time to write. There's so many ways to feel fulfilled like reading, writing, painting, even going on a walk or go running. I hope this class gives me more time to express my thoughts. That is a skill I would like to improve. What i really hope to learn in this class is better writing skills and find more time to express my thoughts wether it is blogging or writing.
