Don’t judge yourself for judging, that’s just another judgement.

We all judge things and other people. Judging, measuring and comparison are all simply a part of how the mind functions to keep us safe and to make sense of our physical reality.

It’s not that judging is wrong per se. It’s more about how conscious we are about it, and what we do with our judgements.

When we judge ourselves for judging, this just keeps us where we are. It is just more of the same.

Instead bring in kindness and patience with your mind and then take responsibility; acknowledge what you would like to change, be kind to yourself around it, and put action and awareness behind supporting yourself to make an improved choice next time.

Sometimes all we need to do is mindfully see our judging thought. Just name it: there is a judging thought. And decide not pick it up or give it any further juice, power or attention.
