Judgment.

Nice.

Of others or yourself?

I wouldn't say I'm a judgmental person, but I certainly form judgments and have judgments about people.

It's not what I lead with.

It's not like my first five instincts, but it's in there, especially if my feelings are hurt.

If my feelings are hurt, I have noticed I will be much less likely to give the level of compassion that I know I want to give to someone else, mainly because they just hurt my feelings.

But I have decided that that's just not serving me anymore.

And I'm not going to be in an invisible war with anyone.

And it doesn't make sense in my body or in my brain or in my heart.

And so I'm just not going to judge anything anymore.

I don't know if I was feeling extra vulnerable this year or if my feelings got hurt more this year or if I felt more judged this year, but my judgments were spiking.

I felt like I didn't have...

armor on or something.

You know what?

Everyone is doing the best they can with what they've got.

Me included.

And everyone else on this planet.

And I'm just going to let that be.

I don't need to have an opinion about what someone else is doing.
