How does being more non-judgmental improve your life?
 
bullet 1.  Your mind stops racing. 
bullet When you are judgemental about something in your work or personal life, you tend to THINK about it.  The bigger the issue, the more you think about it.  If you can't shut off your mind, your well-being will slip in a number of ways - weaker listening, poorer memory, difficulty concentrating. When your mind is clear, you see through the fog more clearly, to find answers and make choices that fit who you really are. 
 
bullet 2.  You are more emotionally intelligent. 
  • When you are non-judgmental, you are much less easily irritated and frustrated.  Frustrations of the day roll off your back more easily.  The result is that you react to unexpected events more wisely.  You respond with emotional intelligence rather than impulsively.  Your work and personal relationships begin to blossom in the presence of your calm, focused demeanor.  You make changes and sometimes others don't like those changes.  You learn to deal with that too.
     
bullet 3.  You are physically more energetic. 
  • Being judgmental about yourself leads to pushing yourself to do more, fix more, accomplish more.  When you get out of balance, your sleep is affected, your body's resistance to illness is weakened and your physical energy is drained.  Notice how you feel after a week's vacation compared to your every day life.  When you become more non-judgmental, you begin to relax, breath more easily and feel healthier.
     
bullet 4.  You are more connected to your purpose. 
  • Why is it that many of us start the day with good intentions, and end it knowing we didn't get done what we really wanted to do?  As you become more non-judgmental about your present situation (even a chaotic or grim one), you will become more aware of your priorities and make tough decisions in the moment, to keep yourself on track.  Your performance will begin to rise as you focus more and more on what's important for you.
