Ever find yourself hearing more of your thoughts than your spouse's words? It happens to the best of us. Let's break it down with an example:
Your spouse says: "You're coming home late from work tonight."
Your mind translates: "You're coming home late. Work, huh? Where were you really?"
This mental chatter is automatic, but can mess with communication. There's no magic fix, but here's a move: spot the mental commentary, acknowledge it, then push it aside so you can focus on what your mate is saying.
Warning: Your mind will chat again (it loves to). Just repeat the process.
Practice makes perfect.
