The Practice That You Can Create - Right Now

This is not a post about me encouraging you to start meditating or doing yoga, or anything along those lines. This is a post to encourage you to start a practice of eradicating from your life that which no longer serves you.

How do you eradicate? You create a practice of being aware of that one thing you are working on. Assuming you wish to be less judgmental, you will need to invoke awareness as often as you can when you drift into the judgmental mindset. You'll have to set up the intention inside of you to be aware at those times, in order to stop yourself in mid-game. The more often you stop yourself, the more quickly this practice that you have created will stop the habit you wish to eradicate from having strength in your life.

And that could be any of the following:

• criticizing others
• judging others
• not being kind as often as you could be
• being less impatient
• being less quick to anger
• spending less time in the past, dwelling on past pain

Now let's extrapolate and apply just one of these specifically to your relationship with your partner:

• instead of continually looking for all his/her faults, and then criticizing them, look instead for all those wonderful things, that are still generally there, you just don't see them, because you are so focused on the negative

Can you see how such a practice could radically change the tenor of your relationship? Are you willing to try?
