Did you know that emotional responses can send negative response, which can make a person unhappy? When a person is unhappy, did you know that it reduces life span, as well as health?
One of the ways to improve your life and live healthier is to learn how to listen actively. When you learn to listen actively you reduce filtering, derailing, daydreaming, placating and so forth. Avoiding these habits will increase your thinking, as well as help you to see how you can live longer, healthier and happier.
Various ways can help you to live happier, including learning to paraphrase when communicating with others.
Often relationships fall apart when inactive listening occurs. For instance, when a woman is upset you may strike out emotionally at her mate, which he responds with negative returns. This all leads to unhappiness, and will cause health problems, which your life will shorten.

When you paraphrase during communication you summarize what is being said. When you restate information often it clarifies communication, which produces a much productive relationship. We can view a few samples to help you see how paraphrasing can reduce argument.
Paraphrase:
Sarah: Joe, I wanted to buy a new dress for the upcoming event.
Joe: You want a new dress?
Sarah: Well, yes, I would like a new dress.
Joe: So, you are saying you want to purchase a new dress for the upcoming event. (Clarifying), so, you are asking me if it is ok to buy the dress.
Sarah: Yes dear,
Joe: I am fine with that, if you want a new dress buy one.
Sarah: Thank you.
This is a simple paraphrase, yet you can see how it clears the air. Paraphrasing will stop inactive listening.
Paraphrasing will also correct any allegations, assumptions, or misunderstood communication. When you paraphrase you also make each other happy, since you will feel heard and acknowledged.

Communication works both ways, and if you paraphrase you can reduce angry emotions, which often escalate when information is misunderstood. Paraphrasing is a good way to increase memory as well.
At what time emotions uproar, it affects the heart, which often leads to poor health. If you want to live longer, healthier, and happier, you want to control emotions.
Clarifying is another way to control emotions, which promotes healthier living. When you learn to paraphrase, it will take you to clarification.
While working toward paraphrasing and clarifying you want to make sure you have pure intentions. When you clarify, or phrase you want to avoid blaming, manipulating, and disparagement (belittling) your partner, or who you communicate with.
Negative energy will only lead to health problems, breakdown in relationships, and so forth. Negative energy is bad, which leads to unhappiness, discourage, anger, and pessimistic thinking. Basically, negative emotions are denial and refusal in summary. In truth, negative energy is a large problem that is causing people to suffer.

Some of the results from negative energy (emotional response) are heart failure, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and so forth. As you can see learning to use active listening tactics can help you live longer, healthier, and happier.
NOTE: Did you know that a person with pure positive energy will reflect on others, and often the energy will share across a room, spreading warmth?
It’s true. When you learn to develop positive energy you will shine like a star, which will make you feel happy inside.
To grow to smart thinking, (Using the mind to think, rather than the emotions) you can also learn to practice listening to feedback. When you give or receive feedback you will not use judgment, negative criticism, and so forth. Rather, you will have pure intentions when listening or giving feedback. As you learn to paraphrase you will build skills, such as clarifying and feedback. Living longer, healthier and happier is becoming a worldwide demand nowadays.
