Discuss at least three antidotes for self-focus suggested in your textbook

What will be an ideal response?

Become aware of the problem by noting when you are drifting off rather than paying
attention to the speaker. Concentrate on the message even if you feel that it is boring.
Relate what the speaker is talking about to your own interests. Become actively
involved in the communication process by taking notes, giving feedback, and writing
down words and phrases you don?t understand.
