Which activities make you lose track of time?

I have one activity that mainly makes me lose track of time. I love chatting with friends and family. Many people have told me that they feel comfortable talking and sharing their challenges with me. I think I was a psychologist in my past life. Now that I have done Public Relations, I am considering being a personal coach and complimenting that with my Image Consultancy.

The airtime on my contract phone does not last the whole month. I spend a lot of time talking to my friend, our conversations at the least are 15 minutes long and can be up to an hour on the phone. My friend and I both agree that texting and using social networks is not the same as talking. I enjoy talking because afterwards I feel relieved and I find it therapeutic.

Talking makes me feel free, I laugh about silly things I have done. I talk about my dreams, some dreams seem unrealistic and some are stupid. I share that with friends and have realised that I'm not the only one.Talking is about sharing information and information is power. People have big problems because they don't talk and some people prefer to suffer in silence. I believe you will never be hungry if you talk, you never know who can help you.

People die without talking and always acting as if they're fine when they are not. Some commit suicide leaving unanswered questions because they did not communicate. Relationships at times don't work because there is no communication, partners have expectations but they do not express them. The mouth is a powerful tool and talking is a powerful skill.

  1. I love the last bit and I've seen in my life how communication has changed my relationships with siblings, my children and other family members.

  2. If we could all just talk our problems away it would be great!
