They’re Gonna’ Judge You Anyway
The other night on a call with my spiritual membership and community: THE NEST, I was reminded how we as people, creatives, and entrepreneurs often have a big fear of being judged.
The thing with feeling judged by others is we begin to believe we don't belong, that we're being attacked, we're not safe or will be abandoned.
It can also leave us feeling like we’re somehow wrong or that we’re not lovable, worthy or “good enough” because … fill in the blank … it comes up in a thousand different ways.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the reality that as human beings, we pretty much all judge. It’s unfortunately what our ego-mind and in turn people do to one another.
The ego loves to make us “special” through either feeling superior to others or “shittier” than others. Ha!
Eventually because of this state of mind, we find ourselves in a pattern of not only being somebody who judges, but also in the fear and feeling of being on the receiving end of other’s judgment. (And we all know how that feels.)
For this reason, so many people will not pursue their dreams, they won’t start that business, or write that book because they believe they can’t show up fully as themselves without being judged, attacked, made fun of or called out.
It's all a racket run by the ego, and we don't have to be held hostage to it.
We know how much it hurts to be in the aim and fire of somebody else's attack of judgment.
So let's do our part and have the change start with us and choose today to stop doing it first and foremost, both to ourselves and to each other.
