Sitting with my thoughts and emotions without judgement is probably one of the hardest things I've had to endure on my self healing journey. I am my worst critic. my worst enemy. even the silliest of thoughts, I would normally be hard on myself. but to witness them, and literally not have my inner voice judge the same inner voice for the thoughts it just had. sounds kind of crazy when I type it out, but it’s been very normal for me, my whole life. my inner critic goes beyond my thoughts to words I've said, things I do, and my behaviors. Learning to sit with all of these without judgement has taught me so much about loving myself. rewiring my brain to be kinder to myself has in turn helped create new habits and patterns. ones I never thought possible. I've noticed a lot about myself and the ways I think. For instance, I have a lot of distracted thoughts when I am stressed out and feeling unproductive. I have a lot of irrational thoughts when I am feeling insecure, and doubtful of myself. and when I can’t will myself to think about anything, is usually when I feel most disconnected from myself, reality, and the world. allowing yourself to just be, and not interfere is one of the most powerful concepts to witnessing yourself without judgement.
