What is active-listening and why should you do it?

When was the last time, you actively listened to music? Meaning, it wasn’t just in the background; your activity was sitting and listening to the song that was playing?

The difference between active and passive listening is the difference between eating dinner with a friend and eating dinner with a friend while you're scrolling on Instagram.

Of course there's nothing wrong with passive listening- music in the background is awesome! But being present to the sounds (and songs) around you has tremendous value!

It trains you in being present.

And since creativity only happens in the present moment, it's an awesome practice to help you get your creative juices flowing.

When I want to get really nerdy, I’ll write down everything I hear.

In the comments below, tell me if you’re up for the challenge and what song you’ll listen to!

All my love,
