Non-Judgment

Hey, everyone! Lets explore a mindfulness attribute called Non-Judgment. You might have previously heard of this term during a mindfulness discussion/forum post or maybe not, so lets take a minute to read a brief summary about practicing non-judgment in the present moment.

When we become aware of our thoughts, we notice that we have ideas and opinions regarding almost everything: This is good; this is bad. I want this; I dont want that. I like this; I dont like that. This is called judging. When we become aware of these thoughts and our judging, we must try to not judge that we are judging. This is tricky but doable.

A key is to recognize that we are judging and that our judgments are often in black and white. They are often set in stone. Once we recognize this judging, we can understand that we are looking at things, people, and situations through the lenses of our own opinions, and this type of thinking can prevent us from experiencing novelty in the present moment.

Through recognizing judging and acknowledging that we judge, we can navigate through the judging so that it doesnt dominate our thoughts. We can decrease its occurrence.

Question:

1.) How can you practice non-judgment today?
