Mental Health, Monthly Words of Encouragement
Every day, we make countless judgments about others without even realizing it. We judge people based on their appearance, personality, and life choices.
Social media has made it easier to judge and form an opinion about others.
Our judgments aren't accurate, since we make assumptions based on incomplete information.
Most of the time, you don't really know what's actually happening in other people's lives.
First impressions can be deceiving.
We cannot understand a person's situation just from one encounter with them. But this shouldn't stop you from being empathetic and compassionate.
Life isn't always black and white. There are many uncontrollable factors that contribute to how our lives turn out and why people act the way they do.
A judgment is simply an opinion you form based on your thoughts, beliefs, and social conditioning. They are not the truth.
Judgmental thoughts are often overly negative and generalized. They lead to bias and a distorted outlook on life and relationships. When we believe our judgmental thoughts, we prevent ourselves from learning about new ways of seeing the world. We become dismissive of other people.
Since we are hardwired for negativity, being negative is easier. You can't stop those judgmental thoughts from coming. But you can release them without believing them.
Pause and question your assumptions. Develop a greater awareness of your thoughts.
Try to gain an understanding of the situation in the right context.
Let go of thoughts about what "should" be.

Also, it may not be pleasant to admit, but often we tend to judge others in an attempt to feel good about ourselves. Those judgments stem from our own insecurities. We try to put other people down to boost our self-esteem.
It goes without saying that the habit of judging people can be very damaging to ourselves and other people.
Throughout the month of June, try to reframe your thoughts each time you find yourself making negative judgments about others.
Try to remain in a curious state when you catch yourself judging someone who doesn’t share your beliefs.
You don't have to agree with them, but simply keeping an open attitude will help you to understand their perspective and respond to them from a place of compassion.
Avoid fixating on your view of what's "right" and "wrong".
Embrace curiosity.

Empathy is generous.
Empathy IS generous, that's a good way to put it Dudu. Thinking about how someone else would be feeling in their situation, giving them that consideration, time and attention is a powerful gift.
