Gosh,
You're so judgy,
Huh?
But by the end of this video,
You're going to feel like a massive weight is off you because you're not even going to be able to judge if you tried.
You're just going to feel full of love.
Ram Dass talks about going out into the woods and seeing all the trees and how some are bent,
But understanding that maybe they just didn't get enough light,
And so they turned out that way.
And he said,
I don't get all emotional about it.
I just allow the tree to be as it is.
But the minute I get back around humans,
The judging mind starts kicking in.
I start saying,
They're to this or I'm to that.
We lose all that.
So he says,
I practice turning people into trees.
Which means appreciating them just the way they are.
Steve Hardison has an excellent mantra you can borrow anytime you catch yourself judging someone.
Everyone is worthy of my love and no one is worthy of my judgment.
Say it with me now.
Let's get in the vibe together.
Everyone is worthy of my love.
And no one is worthy of my judgment.
Joe Hudson's pointed out anytime you're judging someone,
There's something you're not allowing yourself to feel.
So ask yourself next time you catch yourself judging,
What is it that I'm not allowing myself to feel?
Maybe it's grief or sadness or love or compassion or envy,
Whatever it is.
Notice it.
Feel it.
Notice how easily the judgment falls away.
And if you're open-minded,
You can probably appreciate that anything you're judging about someone else is probably a projection of something within yourself that you're not fully owning or loving.
So find the equivalent part of yourself anytime you catch yourself judging.
Love it as it is and notice how easy it is to then love it in the other person.
And finally,
We kind of buried the lead here,
But judging is a way to make yourself feel superior.
It's a part of you literally trying to help you not feel inferior.
It's trying to build you up.
It's just using a wonky strategy.
So when you catch yourself judging yourself,
Find the part of you that feels inferior and small.
And just hold space for it.
Love it as it is deeply.
And then remind the judging part of you,
Hey,
You don't have to do that anymore.
Is redundant and unnecessary.
And then you'll break the habit.
So even though you've lived with that judgy voice in your head your whole life,
You don't have to keep living with it in the same way.
You can gradually recondition it.
So pick a couple of these tools that resonate with you.
Apply them with commitment for a couple weeks as an experiment.
Track your progress.
Notice the shifts.
Have a great day.
