Having blood drawn recently, I realized I had violated some of my basic rules for engaging with other people. I missed what I call the E-S-N Eye contact - I have no idea what color the phlebotomist’s eyes were Smiling - I was a little too anxious to smile or to get a smile Name - I don’t know what her name was and I forgot to ask When we get anxious or self-absorbed/focused, we forget the basics. It’s because of that, we need to be very deliberate about creating a conscious connection. Enjoy this short episode, I even made a couple of stupid jokes at the beginning. 😃
