For many years, I’ve been trying to “observe the thoughts with no judgement” (that’s also the definition of Mindfulness by John Kabat-Zinn) . And for many years, I thought that I was doing so, until the last couple of months since I decided to deepen my practice and teaching through my recent Mindfulness Coach Course.
It clicked in my mind the weight of many years of judgement that I carry on my shoulders. From the comments neighbours from a small village when I was teen + my inner judgement voice + result of being a primary teacher where lessons observations are part of our everyday lives (any teachers out there relating to this ?)
Did I do it right? What will others think? Was I good enough? How many times have these thoughts stopped us from taking ownership of our lives? How much longer will we let that happen?
On the opposite side of the spectrum, our tendency will be to become upset with other’s and also judge our judgements, but know:
✨other’s judgement is none of our business really. Their thoughts. Their time.
✨ bringing kind thoughts towards our self-judgements and cultivate patience makes us feel way better than having inner rants ;)
