Learning to be Less Judgmental

Morning Mantra: “More kindness, less judgement.”

I love this exercise by Ram Dass on how to learn to be less judgey.

Go into the woods and notice the trees. You will see all the different trees. Some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are others. And you look at the tree, and you allow it to be. 

You want to understand why a certain tree is the way it is. You think this one didn’t get enough light, or it got all the light, and that’s why it turned out that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree as is. 

The minute we get near humans, it’s easy to lose all that. Constantly saying, “you are too this, or you are too that”. That judging mind comes in. So practice turning people into trees. Which means accepting them just the way they are, and trying to understand why they are the way they are.
