Si usted tiene hijos, sabe que no es tan f\u00e1cil. Ellos pueden hablar mucho\u2026 y durante largo tiempo. Aunque no siempre es f\u00e1cil mantener la atenci\u00f3n durante toda la conversaci\u00f3n, el regalo de escuchar con atenci\u00f3n es fundamental para construir una relaci\u00f3n s\u00f3lida. Si somos honestos, esa misma pregunta tambi\u00e9n podr\u00eda venir de otras personas: hermanos, c\u00f3nyuges, amigos o compa\u00f1eros de trabajo. Todos, de una u otra manera, preguntamos: \u201c\u00bfMe escuchaste?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoy en d\u00eda, el regalo de la atenci\u00f3n es m\u00e1s valioso que nunca, principalmente porque es m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil de ofrecer. Competimos constantemente con los tel\u00e9fonos celulares, las computadoras, la televisi\u00f3n, los videojuegos y un sinf\u00edn de distracciones. Adem\u00e1s, el ritmo acelerado de las redes sociales nos ha acostumbrado a prestar atenci\u00f3n durante apenas unos segundos antes de pasar a lo siguiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existe un nivel de confianza que solo se desarrolla cuando escuchamos genuinamente a los dem\u00e1s o cuando ellos nos escuchan a nosotros. Es por eso que decimos frases como: \u201cElla me entiende\u201d o \u201c\u00c9l comprende exactamente lo que quiero decir.\u201d En ocasiones, terminamos una conversaci\u00f3n convencidos de que fue excelente simplemente porque la otra persona nos escuch\u00f3 con atenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por el contrario, cuando no nos sentimos escuchados, f\u00e1cilmente concluimos que no somos importantes para la persona con la que hablamos, o al menos que ocupamos un segundo lugar despu\u00e9s de su tel\u00e9fono o de cualquier otro dispositivo. Y lo cierto es que nuestros seres queridos tambi\u00e9n pueden sentirse as\u00ed. Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo podemos mejorar nuestra capacidad para escuchar? Estas son tres pr\u00e1cticas que estoy procurando hacer de manera intencional para ofrecer a los dem\u00e1s el regalo de mi atenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deje el tel\u00e9fono a un lado.<\/strong> Es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil decirlo que hacerlo. Muchos hemos normalizado la costumbre de escuchar mientras seguimos deslizando el dedo por la pantalla. La persona que habla simplemente asume que est\u00e1 siendo escuchada y, para asegurarse, espera un \"aj\u00e1\" o un \"s\u00ed, claro\" antes de continuar. Aunque yo tambi\u00e9n he ca\u00eddo en ese h\u00e1bito, estoy procurando guardar el tel\u00e9fono por completo cuando alguien me est\u00e1 hablando, a menos que est\u00e9 terminando de escribir un mensaje o respondiendo un correo electr\u00f3nico. En ese caso, aplico el siguiente punto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pida un momento.<\/strong> Si estoy terminando un mensaje de texto o enviando un correo, simplemente digo: \u201cDame un momento, por favor.\u201d Termino lo que estoy haciendo, guardo el tel\u00e9fono y entonces puedo prestar toda mi atenci\u00f3n a la otra persona. Esa peque\u00f1a pausa demuestra respeto y evita que la otra persona sienta que est\u00e1 compitiendo por mi atenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mantenga el tel\u00e9fono en otro lugar.<\/strong> Si salimos a comer, el tel\u00e9fono permanece dentro de mi bolso. Si estamos en casa disfrutando de tiempo en familia, lo dejo en otra habitaci\u00f3n. Salvo que previamente haya avisado que estoy esperando una llamada realmente importante (aunque podr\u00eda escribir otro art\u00edculo completo sobre lo que realmente significa una \"llamada importante\"), procuro no contestar el tel\u00e9fono mientras compartimos tiempo juntos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debo admitir que no me agrada estar en un restaurante con alguien que pasa gran parte del tiempo mirando su tel\u00e9fono o enviando mensajes. Tampoco me gusta conversar con alguien cuya atenci\u00f3n est\u00e1 en la pantalla en lugar de estar en la conversaci\u00f3n. Y sospecho que a los dem\u00e1s tampoco les agrada cuando soy yo quien lo hace. Despu\u00e9s de todo, creo que todos preferimos recibir el mismo regalo: el regalo de la atenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMom, did you hear me?
