can find some good local pizza. He says, “Oh, go buy it from the fat guy on the corner.”
Now, “fat guy” sounds like a judgment, right? Here’s the difference: If it felt heavy and
contractive when the man said it, yes, it was covered in judgment. However if he used
the word “fat” simply as a description and the energy was light, it would be an
observation.
(By the way, if you happen to be reading this book and live in Portland, Oregon, circa
2017 and know where I can find a piece of some crispy New York pizza, please contact
me! I’m dying for some!)
Interesting Point of View
One of my favorite tools to use when you want to shed judgment is called “Interesting
Point of View.”
When you or someone else judges or says anything that has that heavy, contractive
feeling—or when you have a thought that feels like that, say, “Interesting point of view—
I have this point of view. Isn’t it interesting that I have this point of view that the pizza
guy is fat…” (or whatever judgment you’re noticing). Keep repeating it until the energy
has changed. And it will! This tool creates a greater space of no judgment for you to
function and create from. Believe me, it’s way more fun and light and expansive to be in
this energy.
