#0113 Have you ever paid attention to yourself when you judge?

 Have you ever paid attention to yourself when you judge?The answer is likely no. We slip into that firey hot feeling without even noticing it—most times.Well today I noticed. I was waiting for my Matcha tea in Starbucks and I saw someone do something. That holier than thou voice in my head started ranting. Usually it happens so fast, I don't even notice myself. But today I did.I checked in to see what I was feeling about me. And guess what? Absolutely nothing!  The voice in my head that usually picks on me was quiet. You can guess why—because it was entirely focused on someone else. Perhaps that's a reason we judge—to take the focus off us. When I checked my energy—I came up empty. I couldn't sense my energy at all! I couldn't feel my light. I couldn't sense any good feelings because I turned those off too. You might be wondering how do you stop judging? A couple things we can do: 1) Get curious, instead of assuming we know another's life experience and/or decisions, realize we don't. 2)Consider the opposite more positive thoughts - that comes from a yoga sutra - sutra means thread of wisdom. So the next time you judge, notice how you're feeling and what you might be ignoring about you.The information presented on this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or prescribe for any medical or psychological condition, nor to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure any such conditions.
