Reply To: Exercise 11: Avoid imposing values
Hi Beth,
I’m happy to be featured in your exercise! Ironically, with all the family time the last two weeks, I do not feel like I’ve embodied my beginner mind. I can very much relate to your story about the plastic cup. Saying things that end up having the exact opposite effect that I wanted. Then I just feel like a jerk!
Writing that reminds me of a couple of times I swallowed my pride last week and apologized for my tone or comments made. I noticed that if I could at least try to address the situation, others involved seemed to appreciate it and it made me feel better.
