What's going on everyone? I've been thinking more about how judgment on ourselves and others takes up valuable time and energy.

Rather than judge, we should treat ourselves if we are someone that we love and care about - which strangely is not common practice. We often give people we love advice that is the opposite of what we are doing. When people contemplate this concept, they often realize they aren't treating themselves very well and are not doing things they would advise.

Part of treating ourselves well is understanding we are human, and mistakes are inevitable. Understanding this allows us to assess our mistakes without judgment and make changes. Forgiving ourselves for making mistakes is necessary to improve and grow.

The suspending of judgment also brings us into the current moment and allows us to focus on what is here and now. Rather than what has happened in the past or may happen in the future.

Rather than saying to ourselves something like "I'm so stupid," or "I always do this," or "I'm not good at this"; it sounds more like ok I made this mistake so lets' reflect on it and understand why we did it and how we can get better. We applaud ourselves for being open to recognizing our faults and mistakes.

Another point is that the better we treat ourselves and lead by example, the more positive of an impact we have on others. People will see this approach, and if they are interested in improving themselves, they will likely emulate it.

Things seem like a coincidence, but it's actually that we just noticed it. For instance, since this is a topic I was thinking about, I saw the quote and thought it was quite a coincidence. In reality, I've been looking at quotes all week and didn't know much of them. When this one came up, I noticed.

An example is getting a call from someone you thought of lately and attributing it to a crazy coincidence or something supernatural. In reality, you've thought about a lot of people lately, but this was the person that happened to call. It appeared to be a more significant coincidence because you recalled the thoughts of this person and not the others.

It's fascinating that the effectiveness of content one produces is subjective to the consumer, whether, for entertainment, educational, or any other purpose.

Podcasts, comedy shows, speeches, articles, or anything else put out is subject to praise or criticism by a range of people.

The opinions on the content vary depending on who is consuming, and further than that when they are. The same person may find value in something at one point, then, find they don't at another time. Or they found they didn't like something at one point, then, later find they love it.

If a particular person or audience doesn't appreciate the content, it doesn't mean someone else won't love it. There are likely people out there that will understand and value it while others don't.

This concept of subjectivity helps me understand that we are all at different points in our lives, and are at varying levels of understanding. It helps me withhold judgment of others when I'm finding myself wanting to be critical of their work. It also helps me withhold judgment of myself when I feel inadequate after hearing someone smarter or much further along in a particular topic. I remember that just because I may not understand something now, I may change perspective over time to have a different take on it.

I'm using this concept as a way to search for those that may find value in the content I'm able to offer.

I'm becoming more comfortable knowing my content is not for everyone. There will always be people that will not find value at that particular time, but the goal is to reach those that will. I will communicate with a community that appreciates the content, and I appreciate their involvement and support.

It's an exciting time now that we can be involved in communities at a much more of a micro scale. The internet and social media allow us to connect in ways we never were before. We have to know how to access our best audience and successfully communicate and contribute.

Understanding this concept of subjectivity will help us navigate through judgment and negativity as it comes up, and appreciate the praise and constructive criticism meant to help us when it does.

Alright, that's it everyone, just something to consider and think. We are all communicative beings that want to understand and be understood. It's vital for us to know that there are people out there that appreciate us, what we have to say, and our willingness to hear what they have to say.

With that said thank you so much for listening! I'll talk to you very soon!

How do we train our minds to appreciate what we have and show gratitude? In this episode, I talk about the benefits of a practice I use to teach my mindset. I happen to use the five-minute journal app, but a notebook or piece of paper would also work. This practice especially helps when we are frustrated or in a negative mindset by bringing us to a new perspective of appreciating what we have and the opportunities we can create. Thanks for listening!
