Let’s start a new Slow-Cook Inquiry session today. Barbara has been encouraging me to find some advice from a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet to question during Slow-Cook Inquiry. Here’s a piece of advice (question 3) that I had for someone on a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet.
Can you find a situation where you thought this advice would be helpful to maintain peace with someone? You probably wanted someone to do something. To agree with you, to see your point of view. But they were not entertaining your idea, nor were they telling you why? If they would just bring up their objection, communication could begin again.
Let’s work this concept all together this week in the comment section below.
Here’s How It Works
1. Inquiry Circle.
2. You will get an email with the next step of inquiry every day (five days a week).
3. You click on the link in the email to come back here to the blog.
4. You post your answers to the question on the blog.
5. You read and get inspiration from what others have posted.
6. This will continue until we have thoroughly worked the stressful concept. Then we’ll start with a new concept for the next week.
7. Feel free to use an initial or a pseudonym if you prefer to be anonymous.
Here Is This Week’s Schedule
Monday, July 2, 2012: Describe a situation where the advice, “She should bring up her objection to my idea,” would have helped make a situation more stressful. And answer 1. “Is it true?” and 2. “Can you absolutely know it’s true?”
Tuesday, July 3, 2012: How do you react when you believe the thought, “She should bring up her objection to my idea”?
Wednesday, July 4, 2012: Who would you be without that thought, “She should bring up her objection to my idea”?
Thursday, July 5, 2012: First Turnaround: “I should bring up my objection to my idea.”
Friday, July 6, 2012: Second Turnaround: “I should bring up my objection to her idea.”
Monday, July 9, 2012: Third Turnaround: “She shouldn’t bring up her objection to my idea.”
