Releasing judgement

I used to pride myself on having a high amount of judgement—I thought it meant that I was very informed and that I held myself to a higher standard than others. It’s taken decades of slow-simmered insights, mainly through emotional and physical challenges, to reveal that judging was simply a way to keep my spirit in a cage.

How do you judge others?

Pay attention to the way you speak about people when they’re not in your presence, and you’ll learn a wealth of knowledge about your own fears and shadows.

When we judge others, we’re basically judging ourselves. (Hear more in this heart-opening conversation with me and Robyn Spieler here.)

When we begin to notice our judgement—perhaps in lifestyle choices, appearance, parenting styles, spending habits, eating habits, etc.—we gain valuable insight into the things that we’re afraid of seeing in ourselves.

And when we know more about ourselves, we can more readily navigate toward the paths of radical self-love, embodied empowerment, and energetic expansion.

No judgement.
