No Judgment Zone

Judgment just feels awful

If I’m doing the judging (yes, I’m human) or I feel like I’m being judged (yes, because others are human) it feels yucky.

We know how hurtful it can be to feel judged or how we all worry about being judged, it places us in this hierarchical relationship with someone who, in many instances, is our peer.

In this episode, we're going to open up your perspective on judgment and shine a new light on these ideas.

How to Stop Judging Others

Bring awareness to the situation: If you find yourself thinking about the choices others are making, consider where it’s coming from. Instead of pushing out negative energy on their choices bring in positive energy with curiosity and interest.

Make situational attributions not personal ones. Maybe the person is having a bad day, maybe they have no confidence and are making statements to overcompensate. Maybe they aren’t prepared at work because their infant daughter was crying all night.

Am I mirroring? There’s a number of research studies that prove what we judge in others are actually reflections of what we don’t like in ourselves. If we find someone’s parenting to be questionable, it usually means we aren’t feeling like we’ve got ours under control.

Own your own choices: If we have confidence in ourselves we don’t use judgment as a way to put other people’s choices, behaviors, or appearances down.

What if I Don't Feel Grateful?

Here in the United States, we are celebrating Thanksgiving. A time when we actively participate in giving thanks and gratitude for all we have. But what if you feel like you’ve got nothing to be grateful for?
In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about what you may be thinking and afraid to say out loud.

What if I don’t feel grateful right now?

And it’s ok -- and very human. So if you are feeling this way, especially this year -- give yourself the space to feel those feelings.

Why gratitude is important.

Gratitude can be a pinprick that allows some light to come back into your life. It also puts us at a much higher energy level and trains the brain.

Gratitude decreases anxiety and depression. When you practice gratitude you release a number of chemicals in our brain that is positive. It releases dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter that makes us want to dance.

Research shows there is a correlation with better sleep, energy, low cellular inflammation and helps with depressive symptoms.
It releases Serotonin; which is the mood-enhancing chemical.
Opens up your creativity
It helps you change your perspective.
You become empathetic to others.
It creates a more positive natural outlook in life
It connects you to your higher self
It propels you to achieve and hit your goals.

Make it a practice and actively seek things out.

Write down one thing you’re grateful for each morning.
Mentally list three things you’re grateful for each night before falling asleep
Be grateful to those around you.
In traffic or waiting in a line? Look around and see how many things you can be grateful for.
Stop yourself. Shift to your conscious mind and look for ways to be grateful
