7-Develop a Non-Judgmental Attitude

Hi {!firstname_fix}

Thank you for joining us for Day 7 of the Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness. There are 
just a few days left of the series, where we are showing you how to start being more 
mindful with simple practices you can use every day.

Today is about developing a non-judgmental attitude, not only toward yourself, but to 
others as well. Part of being more mindful in your life isn’t just about accepting things as 
they are in your own life, but accepting other people, including their traits and their 
flaws. You want to become an observer who accepts everything as it comes and does 
not make a habit of being judgmental.

A lot of stress in your life can come from negative emotions about other people and their 
actions. Get in the habit of watching other people and listening to what they say, and 
just living a state of acceptance. Do not judge them based on what you would do or you 
think they should act like. This creates a negative environment that is not productive or 
pleasant for anyone.

It is not easy to stop being judgmental, as everyone has their opinions. Practice this 
each day with every person you come in contact with. When you learn to push the 
judgment aside, you will discover that it helps to strengthen the bond between you and 
others in your life.
