NO MORE SELF JUDGMENT
Do you want to stop judging yourself? ...stop feeling sad that you are sad? ...stop feeling angry that you are angry? What would be possible for you if you could stop judging yourself? Are you afraid to stop beating yourself up? Do you think that allowing yourself to proceed with bad behavior without punishment means you will loose control of yourself? Maybe it feels like your bad habits are monsters and if you turn your back they will eat you. You don’t need to worry about that. Sometimes we think that easing up on ourselves is giving ourselves permission to keep doing what we know we ‘shouldn’t’… overeating, binging, sleeping in… When we are in judgment we are being the spectators. We are not in the drivers seat. We are looking to blame. When we are in judgment we have created in our minds criteria by which we must comply to feel worthy and valid. We judge ourselves against these criteria and decide how good or bad we are doing.
