Next time you see something that you really, really like or something that you really, really dislike, ask yourself:
- Are you evaluating the event or stimulus as 'right' or 'wrong'?
- Are you labeling the event or stimulus as 'good' or 'bad'?
- Are you describing the event or stimulus as 'desirable' or 'undesirable'?
Make a strong determination to suspend judgment and observe the event or stimulus with equanimity. Identify the reality of the situation and deal with it. Of course, first you have to catch yourself losing emotional balance.
If this were easy to do, more would be doing it. Some situations are easier than others, work on the batting average.
