During the course of your day, you may be communicated to by numerous individuals. Your value increases as you deal with each communication as it happens. A key part of this is to accept and show acceptance of what others are saying. It is quite easy, at least in the short-term, to disregard statements made toward you that don’t fit into your category of “information worth processing”. However, you can obtain more guidance from others by analyzing and adjusting your acceptance mechanisms.
Turning away communications coming from certain individuals during the day is a way to miss out on possibly vital information that would have been free, except for the energy used to accept it. When a person is telling you something that you are not interested in hearing at first listen, there are two things that are good to do at that instant:
1. Respond back to the person with no hesitation, and clear out any signs of disinterest in the material their message pertains to. There is no benefit in responding to the person in a way that informs them that their message is worthless.
2. Think about why your mind tries to resist absorbing the message that the person is sending your way. It could be that they are bringing up a topic that you have been avoiding, and this could be a topic that you should deal with sooner than later. It could also be the case that you have a negative attitude at the time of communication, and this should be tossed away quickly before the opportunity to merge thoughts with the other person is lost.
People are trying to send a message to you through the modes with which they are able to, and although some messages sent to you may seem to have no value, I would say that searching for value in the ones that seem to have none is the way to go.
