FINDING THE ORIGINS OF YOUR SELF-JUDGEMENTS

Every time we don’t live up to our self-imposed conditions, our own measurements of “success,” our internal judge says things like, “You have failed” or “You are not worthy.”

Other individuals who have a need to impose conditions upon us often reinforce these judgements. The result of agreeing with them is that we deny ourselves unconditional self-love. With awareness, we realize that these judgements only have strength because we allow then to by believing them.

The good news is that it only requires a single step to begin to break free. As soon as we begin to question our beliefs, the walls of support that uphold our judgements begin to collapse.

Practice

Ask yourself:

• Where do my self-judgements come from?

• Why am I being so harsh with myself?

• Why would I choose to agree with someone else’s subjugation of me?

Remember today that you are a perfect creation of the universe, and there is no one lese in the world exactly like you! Love yourself exactly as you are.
