A note from Sean
When I catch myself judging someone harshly, I get curious about the judgment itself. Why am I judging this so harshly? Is there something in me that could use some curiosity? We often find our shadows by noticing what we judge most.
Try this today. Catch one judgment today, about someone else or about yourself. Put a hand on your belly and breathe out slowly. Write the judgment in the left column of the worksheet’s chart. In the right column, turn it into questions, the way the examples do: I wonder why. What else is true about them? What can I learn here?
Keep going: Noting to Develop Non-Judgment Meditation Script and Understanding Judgment and Discernment.
This suits anyone who is hard on others or on themselves. If the judgments are about you and feel heavy or tied to shame, go gently. Stop when you need to.
