If you were asked, "Are you a good listener?" chances are you’d answer, "yes."

Maybe you pride yourself on your ability to stay quiet even when you really want to interject, or maybe you believe that you give sound advice after hearing another person’s problem or dilemma. But you might not be listening as well as you think. To illustrate what I mean, here’s an exercise I participated in during a mindfulness course.

You wake up in a cold sweat from a dream that your partner is cheating on you. Or there is an empty anxious feeling in the pit of your stomach when your spouse calls and tells you they will be late again. You fear that your spouse is getting ready to end the relationship, but how do you know for sure? Can you trust your intuition?

We are always receiving intuitive information about the people who we are in relationships with even when we are unaware that we are doing this. These simple steps can help you to better discern if your intuition is accurate.
