Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I honor you for being here,

for giving yourself this time to meditate and connect to the best part of who you are.

And I'm a meditation teacher who shares meditation techniques on the podcast every single day,

and each technique is customized around the weekly theme.

And in today's meditation, which is episode 668, you're going to be guided in a meditation using an affirmation, which is a meditation

technique that can help you to reverse negative thoughts.

And our theme is all about not judging.

So non-judgment, not judging yourself, not judging others, not judging the weather,

not judging the meals you're eating today, not judging the traffic.

It's non-judgment meditations for this whole week. So every

day this week you'll be exploring a meditation technique to help you with non-judgment. And when you

consider what kinds of people or situations you judge or what you

judge about yourself, I bet it has a lot to do with your fears. So if you can unravel your fears and really get to the root of what is

triggering you to feel this sense of judgment, whether it's a judgment where you think

something is excessively fantastic or incredibly horrible.

Judgment takes you to an extreme.

And so this could be an extreme that seems positive or that is pretty negative.

So you could judge yourself as, oh, you know, I'm really good at this.

Other people aren't as great, but I'm very good.

Or you could judge yourself as, you you know this is just not my thing I

don't do well at this everybody is just so much better at this particular thing

whatever it may be in your life so when you think about what you're judging, consider your fears.
