Throughout your day, make a habit of pausing whenever you catch yourself being dismissive.

Choose a simple object—a stone, a leaf, a piece of fabric—and spend several minutes exploring it with all your senses.

Sit quietly and place your hands palms-up on your lap.

Find a partner or even a recording of someone speaking, and practice active listening.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself standing at the edge of a river.

Sit down and write a list of things you’re grateful for about the person or situation you’ve been dismissive of.
