<p>Up until recently I wasn&#8217;t very aware of how some people have energy that is very outward focused while others have energy that is inward focused. Then last week I had coffee with a friend and I noticed how, when she met someone, she would ask questions to learn more about that person. As the person answered, I occasionally made a comment or asked a question but I felt content to let my friend lead the discussion.</p>
<p>As I observed this pattern, I was struck by the differences in our energy. My friend&#8217;s energy was very outer focused and initiating while my energy felt more receptive and passive.</p>
