Feeling judgy? Here's the cure you didn't expect!

 

It's Monday Morning Inspiration Time!
It was a wild week, wasn't it?  I, for one, am ready for a fresh start.  The question is, what do I want this week to look like?  I can choose any one of the '9 C’s’—curious, calm, compassionate, clear, creative, courageous, confident, or choice. They are all qualities that ground and center me.
 
I especially love the idea of curiosity, though, and it creates the week I yearn for.
 
For me, curiosity cures a multitude of evils. 
  • When I judge my neighbor, I can instead choose curiosity about what kind of day they’ve had and feel more compassionate towards them.
  • When I judge myself, I can alleviate self-pity or discouragement by wondering what part of me was protecting or defending myself that I chose the regretful actions I just carried out.  I can get curious about what’s going on inside.
  • When I’m having a day where everyone just plain seems stupid (it’s not about ya’ll at all, it’s all about me) I can entertain myself out of that bad mood with curiosity.  Telling funny stories is one of my favorite pastimes.
 
The bottom line is that curiosity is my 1st line of defense against judgment, and judging others never brings me happiness.
 
There are many other benefits of curiosity. Willingly opening your mind to put your own opinion in the background while exploring another’s perspective can help you feel less stressed and anxious and even foster a sense of compassion or understanding.  That’ll bring your blood pressure down.
 
Physically, curiosity keeps your brain active and reduces cognitive decline as we age.  Remarkably, there is a correlation between being curious and feeling more positiveSeth Godin even says it’s the key to solving problems. He suggests trying to see more gray than black and white by engaging your curiosity skills.

Curiosity brings growth.
Curiosity brings delight.
Curiosity can bring forgiveness.
 
There’s a reason curiosity is part of a centered self. 
So this week, if you find yourself feeling extra judgy or off-center, pause, breathe, and choose curiosity instead. See where it takes you—it might just surprise you.
 
You’ll see the difference.
 
All my love,
Beth

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
