Being judgmental keeps us in a negative mindset, which can cause us to be less patient and more irritable 😖

Here’s a trick to help:

When you realize you are judging something or someone, stop and describe what you’re judging.

For example: if a car pulls out in front of you, your first reaction might be “What the ****!! Dumb***!” Instead, start describing the situation: “blue car, Chevrolet, two people in front seat, license plate is “ “, license ” Keep describing until you’ve calmed down again.

You can use this with other people too. Just start describing the color and style of their clothing, their hair color, eye color, etc. It will distract you from becoming emotionally invested in the situation. 🙂

Here’s one of the negative thinking patterns. Anxiety monster 👹 tells you that everything WILL NOT be fine. So, you agonize and over plan every detail to try and keep that “not fine” thing from happening. When everything does turn out fine (or at least not as bad as you expected) what happens? The anxiety monster says “See? the only reason this turned out fine was because you listened to me and over thought everything. You should be grateful to me for helping you!”

If another person said that to you, you would think they were manipulating you (and you would be correct). 👍

So, why let the anxiety monster lie to you like that? 🤨

When your partner is upset, your job is to create a safe space of listening and trying to understand. It’s not the time for you to give unasked for advice or bring up how their situation affects you. 😶

Before you give your opinion to someone else about what they said or what they’re doing, think to yourself “did they ask for my opinion?” before you open your mouth. 🤔

Anxiety is an irrational monster 👹 Don’t assume that what it’s telling you is the truth!
