Observing without reacting is a powerful statement. Making it clear that you can see, and that you are therefore choosing non-interference with whatever you observe, makes it clear that you hold no immediate objection. Your attention grants permission, grants freedom.
Don’t react to every little thing. Not everything needs your opinion, permission, or endorsement. You don’t always need to weigh in. Give people space and respect – and yourself some calm.
