This week I found myself feeling judged. Yet, as I took the time to compassionately understand my feelings I realised that I was the only one judging myself.
The feelings of judgment I felt came from an embedded schema of “not good enough” and my own internal awareness (and pressure) to avoid giving “fix it” advice… While I cannot tell you that I am free from self pressure or judgment, I can tell you that with compassion for my own tendencies to judge myself, I feel more compassionate to others, and less likely to respond to my feelings in frustration, anger, or shame…
