breaking the habit

Submitted by skindeep on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 5:51pm.

Once again I feel compelled to apoligise because like Rae, I have an unhealthy habit of raising my hand when someone is talking. I do not do it out of disrespect but because I'm so wrapped up in the conversation and as the thoughts enter my mind, my hand atomatically rises. It is purely unconscious and I will be making a greater effort to control it.

I love the idea of not raising your hand when you want to speak and instead being more aware of yourself, your thoughts and those around you, so that conversation is allowed to flow more freely. Raising my hand has been ingrained into me since I was five years old, and I hope that by the end of this semester, I have broken out of it.
