4. Listen and stay decision-free
Sometimes, we do not know how to say the right thing. But other times, it is the right step to say nothing. Being a good listener is the first stage of intimacy. If someone opens up to you and you judge them or say that their perspective is wrong, it may feel like a door is slamming on your face, and bouncing! Intimacy stops forever. Even if you disagree with what you are saying to someone, first listen to their truth.
5. Live in the present
We all get busy with things that we are worried about, but it is important to be fully present. If you find yourself distracted, bring yourself back to the present. Intimacy can only be experienced when you are living in a moment, and doing so will not do anything else.
