==Stopping Judgmental Behaviors== | ==Stopping Judgmental Behaviors== | ||
If you find yourself being judgmental in your self talk or directing judgmental views towards others, especially in superficial means where you know nothing from direct experience about that person, observe yourself and stop yourself from continuing the train of thought or feeding into [[Malicious Gossip]]. Choose loving kindness. By making the effort to deeply understand others perceptions and to have [[Empathy]] for them, will help you to better understand how they feel and the reasons why. Put yourself in their shoes and ask how they are feeling. | If you find yourself being judgmental in your self talk or directing judgmental views towards others, especially in superficial means where you know nothing from direct experience about that person, observe yourself and stop yourself from continuing the train of thought or feeding into [[Malicious Gossip]].

[[Discernment]] – Without using ego judgment test the personal [[Resonance]] of people, events and circumstances that you choose to engage with or exchange with, determining which is either aligned to your person or not aligned to your person, in that moment. There is no right or wrong answer, only personal resonance and choice. That answer may change continually in different timelines depending on when you ask the question and what powers of discernment are cultivated. Learning personal discernment builds our [[Healthy Boundaries|necessary boundaries]] to discover what is productive and supportive for fulfilling our spiritual path or not. Discernment allows for continual productive growth and for the effective use of our personal energies and focused attention. By upholding our personal boundaries and applying discernment towards all things that we focus our energy and our attention upon, we are more effectively managing our [[Consciousness]] and life force. | |||
