 * This costs way too much.
 * Why did they put the apples near the coffee, that doesn't make any sense.
+* This line is too long.
-zzzz
+During your Shopping, you are going to try two things:
+* Observe all those things - you want to "Experience the Now", and these are things that are happening.
+* If you experience any Judgment about what is happening, try to notice that thought as is passes through your mind.
-* people, items, narrow isles, prices, flavors, whatever you are judgmental about - give a bunch of verbal examples "Her hair looks nice"
+By doing those two things, you are strengthening your ability to practice Non-Judgment, by first being more present in the moment, and second, learning to replace the Judgment with something else.
-* acknowledge each thing, "I see it" "It exists"
+Here are some counter-examples of how you might Shop with Non-Judgment practicing those two things - observing The Now and observing your judgmental thoughts.
-* Other ways to do it - "Her hair is red"
+* I have arrived at the parking lot.
-* You are replacing the "judgement" with the "observation" - simply seeing what is here right now
+* I selected this shopping cart.
+* I will come back to this aisle in a few minutes.
+* That man is wearing shoes.  I see they are dirty, and I see that I am using that to pass judgment on him.
+* This item costs $2.99.  I can see I am experiencing some sort of frustration because of that.
+* There are apples here.  There is coffee here.
+* I am in a line.  There are 4 people in front of me.  That person is buying paper towels.
