Understanding without judging and caring without controlling: Notice and get curious about reactions instead of judging or controlling them for better communication and well-being
The importance of understanding without judging and caring without controlling in both meditation practice and communication. Oren, a frequent meditation teacher on the 10% Happier podcast, emphasizes this point by leading a meditation practice that helps us recognize and explore the difference between our habitual tendencies to judge and control, and the possibility of getting curious and having a genuine intention to understand. By noticing and getting curious about our reactions, rather than judging or controlling them, we can make a positive difference in our conversations and overall well-being.
Cultivating an intention to understand instead of judge: Practicing curiosity and care in conversations can improve relationships and is beneficial in meditation and everyday life. Try it and notice the difference.
Cultivating an intention to understand rather than to judge can have a profound impact on our conversations and relationships. This genuine intention comes from a place of curiosity and care.
