12. Choose Curiosity Over Criticism

When it comes to miscommunication and frustration that happens among us as humans, I believe so much of it comes from not having the ‘whole story’ (even though most of the time, we think we do). In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about handling judgment and criticism from others (I have a personal experience of my own to share), why the concept of choosing curiosity over criticism doesn’t only apply to others, and more. I’ve learned that open-ended, honest questions can truly allow you to move forward with knowledge and understanding, which greatly helps when it comes to embarrassment, frustration, and miscommunication - especially in relationships. Not being afraid to ask questions, and in return, gain the knowledge and understanding you need, will no doubt positively impact your relationships. I hope this episode encourages you to choose curiosity over criticism when it comes to yourself, and those in the world around you!   In this episode, we cover:  My own, personal experience dealing with judgment and criticism from others The power of asking honest questions Why the concept of curiosity over criticism can apply to yourself too   Resources & Links: Ted Lasso Darts Scene (language warning) Good Movement Trainings Good Movement 1:1 Coaching Membership Learn more about T’s coaching, group trainings, and self-guided learning Shop FFB Good Movement music by: Aaron Espe Podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting   Connect with Terryn: Follow on Instagram @terryn.drieling Check out my website Send me an email at [email protected]   Find the complete show notes here: https://www.faithfamilyandbeef.com/choose-curiosity-over-criticism-episode-12
