In Just 10: Mumford and Sons: "The Cave"

Heard this on the radio this morning on the way to work. It said it all for me today.

The 10 Steps of Just 10

1. Just 10 requires a minimum of 10 minutes of free time.
2. Your full attention is on the other person.
3. Free yourself from distractions. Turn off the tv, radio, etc.
4. Let the phone go to voice mail or turn it off.
5. Listening is more important than talking.
6. Listen with your whole body.
7. Any thing you say must be positive and display unconditional regard. No criticizing, lecturing, teaching, admonishing, or correcting is allowed.
8. Just 10 time is comfortable, relaxed time. Let yourself relax.
9. Don't force the other person to talk or share with you. It will happen naturally when they know they have your full attention and a receptive spirit.
10.Spending Just 10 in silence isn't a bad thing and it may happen from time to time or at various times during Just 10. Silences can convey things that words can not. Don't be afraid of being still.
