Daily Gratitude: This is a big concept they taught me in the death doula course. To go into a situation with a know nothing mindset. This leaves you open to anything. You can expand your mind so much easier when you think you know nothing.

You’re judgement free and what better way to open your arms and accept whatever comes along. After all, you’re not the expert in someone else’s life are you? You may think you know more than they do but you can’t actually decide what’s best for someone if you haven’t or aren’t in their shoes.

Your external circumstances may be similar but I’ll bet that you have no clue what their upbringing and past were like and that’s what really determines how they are going to respond to something. So judgment is useless. Besides unless they specifically ask for your advice or thoughts, maybe you should just listen…and be open to whatever you hear.

Having a “know nothing” mind will actually enrich your life, not stifle it like making your opinions the important thing will.

Make a conscious effort when you go into a new environment or relationship. Go in like a child with all the curiosity of that child. You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll learn.
