Nonjudgmental Stance
Judgments → consequences
Judgments are a fast shortcut — they save time and cost accuracy. Notice, translate, and try the same event in the language of consequences instead.
A judgment I noticed today (be honest — 'stupid,' 'lazy,' 'bad')
The facts underneath — what actually happened
The consequence I actually cared about
The same event described in consequence language
Did the reframe drop my distress? (0–10)
