Reduce irritants. Say this.
Perception is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. It’s how we interpret what’s going on outside ourselves.
We can see a glass as half empty or half full. Both are correct.
All people do not ‘see’ the same thing.
Every day we perceive relationships as good or bad, easy or hard, convenient or inconvenient.
Improve your relationships.
Next time your spouse or friend does something annoying, say to yourself,
“I do that too.”
- “I leave dirty dishes in the sink.”
- “I forget to take out the trash.”
- “I speak disparagingly about others.”
“I do that too,” changes your perception of the person and situation and allows you to respond more skillfully.
