When we're present we're living in the moment. Our attention is focused on whatever is in front of us, without any distractions, and from here we can listen to another person's words. What we learn by practicing presence is that we'll go in and out of it, and when we notice that our minds have wandered off into what we are doing in the next hour, day, or week, we gently turn our attention around and step back into the now. Being present in the moment is a central component of communicating like a Buddhist, as you can only practice the elements of right speech now, not at some point in the future.

So how do you become a present listener? By decluttering your headspace before a conversation begins, noticing when your mind wanders, and then gently guiding yourself back to the moment you're in without judgment—again, and again, and again.

How to Be a Present Listener

Before a conversation: Declutter your headspace.
