3. Practice Non-Judgment
Judging events and circumstances is like applying
the emergency brake while you’re hurtling down a
freeway. By learning non-judgment, we free ourselves
up to pursue magic moments without restriction. My
response to new people, events, and circumstances has
always been “I wonder what this is all about?” or
“Good luck, bad luck? Who knows?”
That said, while non-judgment promotes flow,
avoiding judgment completely can cause problems. If
we don't use some judgment, it's hard to figure out if
something is harmful, or see when we need to judge a
situation for practical, ethical, or safety reasons.
Finding a balance is key. It means we can enjoy the
good parts of being non-judgmental while still
handling important situations wisely.
4. Release The Past
Before embarking on the next chapter, consider the
power of forgiveness. Forgiveness liberates you from
emotional burdens and enables you to see situations
from different angles. Holding on to grudges and
resentments only serves to slow flow.
