Day 19 – HUMBLE
Today, let's gain control over the way we respond to judgmental thoughts.

As much as humility is necessary towards others it should also be applied towards the aspects of ourself. Mind towards the body, happy moods dealing with sad moods, usw.It is all part of the same thing ,equally good and equally right.
I will do my best to understand their actions out of their position and radically accept it the way it is.
I will try to see their side of things, and put my feet in their shoes.
Open the mind to find similarities
Always keep my mind open and listen to their story
For me this is a eye opener, I have just moved to my little village in the past three months and I rarely get to speak to anyone here . I went for a walk and I made a point in saying hello to anybody I met , the first people I met was a Asian woman and her little girl who were not smiling as they approached me , I smiled and said hello and I could see she was shocked , she stopped and said hello and smiled , I think If we all said hello to anybody who crosses our paths it might make their day .
I loved the exercise for today! It was really helpful. I choose to focus on my dad’s side of the family (which I don’t really know). There are a lot of politics and things that I don’t really understand with them. I have made a lot of previous judgements about them. But by taking the time to dive a bit deeper, and really try to get a sense of where they are coming from and why has actually been quite healing. It’s allowed me to try and make peace with things that I haven’t previously been able to. So what will I do today that will open up a greater sense of acceptance and humility for others? I will try and approach everything with an open perspective, and consider that everyone is trying to do the best that they know how and are capable of doing.
See what is my part in creating the resentment, expectations and judgement I have towards others. Often enough I tend to label and blame as a protective meausre and instead of blossoming in the flow of life I block it, hide, isolate and create negativity. When i see this happening I need to take a step back and pause. In this pause consider in which way am I being selfish, frightened, close-minded or self-centered and then decide to be the opposite.
