stop judging yourself

How can we expected others to not judge us if we don't stop judging ourselves? We tend to our worst critics. I know I am! This was my conversation at 5 am this morning with my client D.J.

Does it really matter what that stranger on the treadmill thinks about you? It shouldn't. Checkout my thoughts in the video, I promise it will only take a minute.

Have you fallen into the trap of judging yourself? Do you still do it? How come? Why is it so hard to stop judging ourselves? Aren't I just full of questions, but they are important ones that we should be asking ourselves. Until we can truthfully answer them, then we can't learn how to become more confident and stronger within ourselves to stop the process. 

I don't have all the answers but I do have steps that can be taken to start breaking the process. Here are my top 3. 

1. Stop judging others. Yes we all do this in one form or another. 
2. Replace those negative thoughts with positive ones. If you have to write them down so you see them, then do it. 
3. Talk to someone. Sometimes we need another person to help us figure things out or just to listen.

​You aren't the only one that is hard on themselves, but you are the only one that can take that first step to breaking that self-judging habit. Embrace your inner strength and start the process.
