Giraffe? Consciousness
? ?In Compassionate Communication , we use giraffes as our metaphor because they have the largest heart of all land mammals( forty pounds !). They remind us to connect from the heart . They also have long nechs , a mataphor for seeing far down the road . So when we say or do something , it is important for us to be consious of the potential long-range consequeences of our actions. It's about being fully present to our actions and words , knowing that each action creates a reaction . When we consciously choose to respond to life with compassion , peace ,and harmony, we meet our own needs for these positive qualities.
? Be aware of your own or other people's actions that demonstrate a giraffe consciousness to you.

長(zhǎng)頸鹿式的覺察
在描述同理心溝通方式实抡，
我們常會(huì)選擇作為長(zhǎng)頸鹿作為一個(gè)象征迎献，
這樣做是因?yàn)殚L(zhǎng)頸鹿是陸地上心臟最大（重達(dá)40磅，約合18公斤汉形，而成年大象的心臟也一般在12公斤左右）的哺乳動(dòng)物場(chǎng)，
它的形狀可以提醒我們與自己的內(nèi)心連接。
長(zhǎng)頸鹿擁有很長(zhǎng)的脖子涌穆，
象征著可以看的更遠(yuǎn)，
提醒我們時(shí)刻覺察所言所行是否基于長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)效益雀久，
并時(shí)刻關(guān)注當(dāng)下宿稀，
明白每一個(gè)行為都會(huì)產(chǎn)生相應(yīng)的后果。
當(dāng)我們有意識(shí)地選擇以同理赖捌、和平與和諧的方式來回應(yīng)生活時(shí)祝沸，
就可以更好實(shí)現(xiàn)自己對(duì)那些正向品質(zhì)的需求。
每日練習(xí)：
嘗試用長(zhǎng)頸鹿式的覺察智慧去體會(huì)自己或是周邊人的行為越庇。
