At times, we may – consciously or otherwise – hold onto the belief that judging ourselves. The true danger that many of us do not notice is that judgment often serves to prevent us from authentic connections with others, genuine self-knowledge/awareness, and living our most meaningful/value-based lives. Judgement acts as a barrier that disconnects us from the richness and beauty of ourselves.
Here are a few steps to take to practice nonjudgmental awareness:
(1) Visualize yourself removing the lenses of judgment.
(2) Really see yourself, others, and the world.
(3) Ask your wise mind, “What is it that I most deeply want in my life?”
The more we practice sitting with our whole selves nonjudgmentally, the better we get at opening ourselves up to every kind of moment with discernment and acceptance, rather than judgment, reactivity and remorse.
