Episode 137

Whether you say, “That chicken was too spicy,” or “The presentation was awful,” you might have strong judgments about the things around you. And while you’re entitled to your opinion, there are ways to experience those opinions without being too judgmental. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that your opinion isn’t a fact, however. Just because you thought a movie was great doesn’t mean everyone else in the family will like it. The way you experience and express your opinions can make a big difference to your mental health. It can also affect your social interactions. While it does take practice to change the way you think, it’s something all of us can do. So, in this Friday Fix episode, I share how a slight change in the way you word things can make a big difference in your life.
