I have noticed that the more I judge myself and others, the more I worry about being judged. As I work on letting go of judgment, I worry less about others’ judgments. It is natural and human to make judgments. Every day, we are judging; we pick the best apples at the store, we assess whether or not we like a horse that’s listed for sale, we like and comment on social media posts. What has helped me is to avoid adding my opinion to a judgment. Instead, I try thinking isn’t that interesting. This is a more neutral idea and it doesn’t put me in the energy of judging. It is okay to have different judgments and opinions. We don’t need to be upset by differing ideas. If you disagree with someone’s assessment of a situation, try thinking isn’t that interesting rather than making judgments about them or their ideas.
