My Story
Ah yes, judgement of self. Cruel, isn't it? The kicker is we do it to ourselves. I judged the ever living out of myself when I got divorced. I was so grossly mean to myself. "How could you fail at this", "how could you do this to your daughter", "who the hell is going to love you again"; I told you I was mean to myself.
And the more I did this, the further away I got from meeting any type of goal I set. Why? Because keeping myself in a state of judgement allowed all of the non-true BS to rise to the surface and sabotage anything good.
Today I am polar opposite as I can proudly and honestly say I hold myself with love and grace and told my ego to take a long walk off a short pier! As you read the following, think about how judgement has altered you and how changing it would change everything <3.
Breaking Free from Self-Judgment: Embrace Self-Love and Inner Peace
There was a time in my life when self-judgment was an everyday occurrence. Whether it was criticizing how I looked, battling mom guilt, or feeling like I wasn't "good enough," these thoughts were constant companions. If you’ve ever felt the same way, you know just how draining it can be.
But now, with the wisdom that comes with experience, I realize that all of this self-judgment only created walls of resistance in my life—walls that blocked my connection with my true self. When we continuously judge ourselves, we forget that we are master creators of our own lives. We step away from our soul and its deep wisdom, lost in a constant cycle of negativity.
As a mom to many children, I’ve learned the power of unconditional love. I love my children without judgment. It’s pure, unfiltered love. And yet, when it comes to loving ourselves, why do we struggle so much? Why is it so difficult for so many of us to offer ourselves the same grace we give others?
The Power of Cutting Yourself Some Slack
Here’s the amazing thing that happens when you finally cut yourself some slack: peace. That’s right—inner peace. When we let go of the harsh self-judgment, a sense of calm steps in. It’s like becoming the eye of the storm, calm amidst the chaos of life.
So, here’s a simple exercise I want you to try for just 10 minutes today, release the judgment. Allow yourself to be exactly who you are, without the microscope of perfection hovering over you. What happens? You might just discover a side of yourself that you never even realized was there.
It’s a powerful practice that leads to greater self-love and healing. Embrace yourself as you are and start the journey toward inner peace today.
Why Self-Love is Essential for Personal Growth
Let’s be real: self-judgment is a barrier to personal growth. When we judge ourselves, we close off opportunities for growth, creativity, and the deep connection with our soul. But when we embrace self-love and acceptance, everything shifts.
Self-love isn’t just a feel-good concept. It’s crucial for our mental health, happiness, and overall well-being. By letting go of self-judgment and treating ourselves with kindness, we open up space for growth, healing, and fulfillment.
Take the First Step Toward Self-Love
Are you ready to try this practice? Start small—just 10 minutes of self-love and acceptance. See what shifts for you. You may be surprised at how much peace and clarity you can find when you stop judging yourself so harshly.
Self-Judgment, Self-Love, and Growth: A Journey Worth Taking
