    What is easy for you to do when having a constructive conversation and what is challenging? What tips do you have for having a constructive conversation?

    I think its challenging that we as people can often feel personally attacked. One thing that I do when having constructive conversations is try to understand what that person is seeing and understanding and try to find some common-ground to better understand how both parties can not only agreed but be on the same page at the end of the conversation.

    What was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation benefit from active listening?

    Learning to constantly be aware of how we enter conversations is difficult, For me active listening is like being apart of a move a true story tv show or something, you get to have the opportunity  to ask clarifying questions, understand every aspect of a story of a person if only you listen.. I think all the people I share this experience with came out of it with a deeper understand\ing of each other.

    What was it like to practice mindfulness? If this is a practice for you already, what was something new you understood in practicing during Earth Month?

    Practicing mindfulness is something I believed to be critical as we look to develop ourselves within our own journey. I learned not only is gratitude scientifically proven to benefit our mental physical but also multiples aspects of our daily lives.
