Remove the judgment.
This is probably one of the hardest things to do because we’re so conditioned to it. We judge. We judge each other and we judge ourselves. In fact, we’re probably the worst on ourselves.
Think about it. What do you tell yourself all day long? What does that inner critic say when you’re running late or when your project failed? How about when you look at yourself in the mirror? Remember how feelings move? Well, our inner critic creates a lot of feelings—fear, self-doubt, shame, embarrassment, sadness, loneliness, and so on.
Quiet the inner critical judge and try replacing it with love and gratitude. You’ll save yourself, and the loved ones around you, from a lot of pain.
