Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this episode, I'm going to talk about how to stop judging yourself.

And I'm going to show you a powerful exercise to help you do exactly this. I feel a bit of a cold coming on so bear with me as I try to push through it.

Anyways on to the main topic. Judgments, judgments, judgments,

judgments. The problem with judgments is that judgments are poisoning your life.

And as usual, which should now be

becoming an apparent theme through all the actualized artwork content is that

you're usually not aware of how this mechanism works. You're not aware of how judgments

backfire on you. How when you judge others, in a sense, you're also judging yourself at the same time.

And in fact that's the profound insight that I want to hammer home at you today

is just this one simple idea that judgments that you make about others

always apply to you.

And it doesn't seem this way at first. So what I want to do is I want to illustrate

this point with a assortment of examples, common examples that I think that a lot of us have run into. of

common examples that I think that a lot of us have run into.

But the idea is very simple.

Every time you make a judgment about somebody else, their physical appearance or their behavior or their belief systems or anything else, you're basically also

judging yourself at the same time and you're making life for you very difficult in the future.

So how does this work? Well, let's take example number one, which is judging fat people.

Maybe you're one of these people that actually values his or her health and so you go to the gym and you work out and eat healthy.

Okay, but then you judge fat people as they're walking down the street.

Maybe you see a really obese person like, oh man, that's just a fat slob right there.
