Comments on: That’s Interesting. Tell Me More. {Mantra 4} https://lisanotes.com/thats-interesting-tell-me-more-mantra-4/ on Life and Love Sun, 17 Aug 2025 19:17:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: Carla https://lisanotes.com/thats-interesting-tell-me-more-mantra-4/#comment-329500 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 03:40:19 +0000 https://lisanotes.com/?p=30180#comment-329500 I love the intent of this mantra, to seek understanding. I find myself cautious to use the “That’s interesting” or “Interesting” part of it because I’ve been on the receiving end of those words where it felt dismissive or even judgmental. However, “Would you like to share more?” “I’d like to hear more” or “Help me understand” all feel open and invitational. I think this is an excellent example of how the same words can sound different to different people! 🙂

It is a wonderful one! I’ve never considered using it with God—but I’ll be trying that!

There are so few focused listeners who really care. What a gift to have these words offered to use by someone who genuinely cares.

Especially in my professional role as a Clinical Counselor.
And often placed a cuppa into the hand of the other & you’d be surprised how that opens up the conversation & sharing! ?
Bless you,
Jennifer

It shows one is a good and empathetic listener. And if the conversation is heated or if one really needs to contemplate, it provides much needed margin to do so.

Tx for sharing your wisdom, Lisa!

This mantra is an excellent way to do that too – keep from me doing all the talking and for me to find out more about the person I’m talking with.

Noticed, too, that you have released your usual red color scheme for this occasion.
