Describe sometime in the future. You decide how far and the context of this future scenario.

In this future place, you are living a fulfilled life - professionally, personally, financially, and physically - you decide what is important to you.

Describe what you will be doing in the future state. Where you are and who you are with.

A simple ritual for active listening is the ‘listening circle’. 

You can make a listening circle as short as 15 minutes up to 60 minutes, or leave it open-ended.

Decide who you want your listening partners to be. They can be your team members or colleagues, friends or family members. With your listening partners, arrange a fixed time during the week when all of you meet in person or online with one intention and one intention only: to listen to one another.
