Prepare
This mission’s difficulty lies in how easy it seems. All you need to do is practice the overview effect in daily life. Yup, that’s all 😊
We recommend you start in simple scenarios, and slowly spread this awareness to challenging moments, where you find yourself overthinking or in a conflict with someone else. See not the ways how you can defend yourself or find the flaws of another, but how similar we all are. Human, all too human. Forgive, smile, and learn.
You can practice this better in two ways:
Journal: Reflect on experiences where you felt impulsive and negative in your day. Then reframe these experiences as futile based on the Overview Effect.
Visualize: While preparing for the day, premeditate on how different unfair acts you expect in the day are ultimately rooted in human ignorance. Remember we are all in this together and visualize an apt response beforehand.
Over time, you drop all notions and see the human within everyone, all different members of the same family on Mother Earth. As you operate with this perspective and see how we are all in this together, love flows out from you for every fellow being.
P.S.: This does not mean you yield to injustice or unfair acts, but you become more understanding. As you operate in immense empathy, you lose the urge to react. A well-thought response is the only choice left.
