Yesterday I suggested you do a thought exercise with two parts:

The first part was imagining how you spend the day as someone else. I would spend the day as Trish, mostly sketching and painting so I could feel what it’s like to have artistic talent and skill. It would also be interesting to get a glimpse of how she views the world so I would understand her better.

The second part was pulling someone else into your own shoes so they could see what it’s like to be you. I would choose Trish for this part, too. I would love for her to experience what it’s like to be me. Would her impression change of my calm, cool and collected exterior? I also wonder what she would choose to do if she had my skills instead of her own.

Perhaps we will discuss this over a bottle of wine. Maybe we can get closer to understanding each other without trading places.

Without trading places, what can you do to understand or be more like the person or people you chose?

    Be more observant & listen closely for hints.
    Try harder to focus on someone else’s view.
    I will try. All of your suggestions have helped so far !!

    I’d listen for careful in the presence of that person. Really settle myself to notice all they had previously passed me by.
