“THE MIND IS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR LOVE AND HAPPINESS. JUST DON’T USE IT AS A JUDGE’S GAVEL.”
Do you ever notice that your mind can have a mind of it’s own? You are sitting down to a nice meal and then your mind starts looking for all the flaws – water spots on the glass, not quite enough salt in the stew…
If you’re not careful, the same thing can happen in your love relationships – Your mind will start seeing all the things that are wrong with your mate. You roll your eyes at the dirty frying pan in the sink instead of thanking your sweetie for the mushroom and truffle oil omelette. You may even find yourself complaining more than you compliment—and excess criticism is one of the predictors of divorce.
To combat your inner judgyness, practice focusing on what your mate is doing right. Befriend your inner critic and ask it to lighten up.
