7 Tips for Minding My Own BusinessLately, I’ve really been focusing on trying to be less judgmental. It’s a tricky resolution, because it’s hard to turn it into specific, manageable resolutions to keep me on track. What, exactly, do I do differently in my life to be less judgmental? I need to change the way I think.

One of my helpful mantras, though, is to “Mind my own business.” I remind myself:

1. No one asked for my advice.

  1. Thanks for the blog….very helpful….just one comment about your mother-in-law who unplugs the toaster (I do the same for all the electronics)….
    All electronics even if you think they are off, but still are circulating energy and demanding electricity, although it will be little, but it’s a great practice to unplug them….you will save a lot of energy this way :)
