is not just cognitive. It is also an emotional endeavor.

I have written about Suspending Judgement before.

Here’s a post about it in the form of Asking Questions.

Here’s another post about it as I understood it and wrote about it years ago – Suspend Judgment.

Here’s another post about it called – The Deeper Open Principle.

From all of those previous perspectives – I wrote about it from a cognitive perspective. I saw the ability to Suspend Judgment as a cognitive exercise much more than an emotional endeavor.

Now that might be simple for you and your attitude might be ‘of course it is,’ but much like this post – if you thought that – then you judged me for thinking this way and writing this post. You did not suspend judgment. (Which just makes me laugh honestly and I love it)

It wasn’t as simple for me, and for whatever reason, I get it now. Being able to Suspend Judgment is just as much emotional as much as it is cognitive. An emotional outburst or a judgment or prejudgment – without all the right thinking and the right feeling – is not Suspending Judgment.

There’s been a lot of that lately. You can find it on….
