Get Curious

How do other people and situations get us mad and frustrated? For most of us, it could be far too often. 

One life hack to slow down on the frustrations at others is to learn to get curious. 

Here’s an example, someone cuts you off in traffic. Get curious, ask what could be going on in their life that would cause them to be so inconsiderate. Or maybe how could they have learned to be so inconsiderate. 

Somebody doesn’t communicate with you or not how you wanted? Get curious. What could have been going on in their day or their life that caused them to treat you that way?

Come across an angry person? Wonder about what could have happened in their life to make them this way. 

If you stay curious, it makes things less personal and more about the person or situation you’re dealing with. Not to shift blame or responsibility, but to help yourself get less frustrated or angry. 

Everybody is dealing with more than we know. If we give them that grace, we will make dealing with people so much easier.
