I think of the situation or person that i do not understand. I allow my self to become them or put my self in the situation using visualization. think about why they may have reacted the way they did or why things turned out the way they did. Become a detective in a sense as you replay the scene in your mine through another person eyes. I think about how badly i want to be understood. Now imagine that is how the person you are imagining yourself as feels. try to think about what might be going through their mind. You will be surprised what you can understand when you prevent yourself from closing your mind and allowing yourself to view things from another perspective. A lack of understanding typically comes from a lack of having all the information or have a difference in views of beliefs. To become more understanding open your mind. Find the information and learn about other views. Even if you dont agree, you can be accepting. This will lead to understanding because when you accept someone or something, you realize how it would be if you were walking in their shoes.
