How to be less judgmental and becoming discerning instead
Evaluation. Our brains are performing this function nearly nonstop as we go through our day. It’s part of our decision-making process, how we make sense of the world, and how we keep ourselves safe. However, due to various influences, our brains trend toward the negative more often than the positive. The judgmental mind strategy or pattern we use to protect ourselves actually leaves us feeling unhappy, dissatisfied and hyper-focused on what’s wrong.
But what if we can retrain our brains by replacing judgment with discernment? This subtle but freeing shift still involves the evaluation we naturally perform but it uses the information input differently. Rather than looking for what is wrong, discernment considers facts without assigning so much personal meaning and emotion. This fosters an environment of problem solving with less stress and calm, something we all desire. Let’s explore together how to become less judgmental and more discerning.
“Dropping judgment can actually allow us to achieve more… It can allow us to be more innovative and creative… enjoy our work and personal lives more… improve our relationships... [and] tap into our own inner wisdom and see possibilities where before we saw only problems.” – Dr. Sara Dill
