This is for speaking/writing/doing, which is to say it's for thinking/being.
A core set of principles and language hacks came from nonviolent communication.
I practically started with it and added a practice of acknowledging both words and their opposites (Maybe I mean adjectives with opposites, but maybe try it with whatever opposite-having words you catch?).
Here's a great free resource for NVC: https://youtu.be/O4tUVqsjQ2I https://youtu.be/O4tUVqsjQ2I
The nonjudgment practice went something like this:
1. Hear/read a word I detected as having an opposite.
2. Say "eh...<first word>...<its opposite>...eh" while shrugging and mentally considering the opposite within the same context.
3 weeks after having adopted the practice every day, I started enjoying foods I'd historically hated. Then I began enjoying everything in the world more, including people, country music, and watching sports.
Let's connect off-site and keep this convo going.
