Observing Judgment: A Path to Mindful Awareness
I know you do this. It's something we all do. In fact, it's like our brain is a judgment machine. It's not really healthy. And it's a really great mindfulness thing to observe the judgments that you have about others. And just observe that that's the first step. In releasing the habit of judging others, especially harshly or negatively, you can get really stuck in some negative thought patterns if you are constantly gossiping about others to yourself inside your own head. I know you do it. We all do it. There's a great book that's called "Judgment Detox." It's by Gabrielle Bernstein. And it is a six-step interactive process that helps your reader, that might be you, clear judgment, release resentments, and cultivate a mindset of compassion and forgiveness. The skip this is one of the little angles or tricks involved in forgiveness is noticing the fact that you're judging somebody, ask yourself, this is the first thing who or what am I judging? So just label the object of your judgment. Think about how the judgment makes you feel, angry, annoyed. Better, maybe. And then why do you feel like it's okay to sit in that state of judgment is what gives you the right I want you to question that. I guess you just could inherently have it, but you might feel justified like you're right and they're wrong. That's usually the root of why you're judging somebody is because you think you're right and they're wrong. It's pretty simple. Think about what moment in your life triggered you to feel justified and then judgment. So what we think of as right and wrong comes from our values, our history, what we were taught, and it shows up in a lot of the beliefs that we hold. So what is it in your life that's making you judge others or feel a certain way where you need to judge it? Just acknowledge that feeling or the belief and observe it and just check it out? It's sitting there. You may not see it yet. But if you really intend to see it might show itself.
