Question: I don’t know how to have fun conversations.

Higgins: Much in the way of conversation skills can be acquired with practice. Fun conversations, though, are a by-product of a light heart. If your heart is not light attempts at fun conversations will typically fail.

Those with a light heart see humor and ease everywhere and this is reflected in their conversation.

To develop a light heart first one must have an awareness and desire to do so. Then one announces to one’s Soul Self something along the lines of, “I want to live life with a light and happy heart.” You might also add, “And I want my conversation to reflect my light and happy heart.” Then start looking for the best in everything.

It takes practice but in time you will notice you are prompted to add more positive, light comments to conversations. Allow the shift to occur naturally. There is no need to expend effort on anything other than applying a steady intention toward your desire for conversation that reflects your light and happy heart.

In time and in very natural progression you will begin to notice things differently and your conversation will reflect the change in your mood.
