500 Days with NTI ~ Day 50

Day 50 Assignment

This evening (or tomorrow morning):

1. Read NTI Matthew 21 (v1-5) thru (v10-11).
2. Make a list of the people who are in your life. This list can include family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc.
3. Next to each name, write down something you expect from that person.
4. Next to each name, write down how you would feel if that person didn’t meet the expectation you have of them.
5. Look at each name and expectation on the list and say to yourself, “I am willing to let go of my expectations, so I will not be tempted to judge.” (Say this once for each person on your list.)

Tomorrow:

1. At a time that is convenient for you, set a timer for 6 minutes and practice the brain relaxation meditation.
2. When you notice your mind judging someone, pause and look to discover the expectation you are judging them against. When you see that expectation, say to yourself, “I am willing to let go of my expectations, so I will not be tempted to judge.”
