Our upbringing plays a significant role in our approach to life as we grow older. The constant comparisons and criticisms shaped how we view others and ourselves. How did can these scenarios negatively affect a person? It starts the moment you start judging yourself. By judging yourself more, you manifest those negative energies and can turn out to be reality.
It corrupts your entire being, mentally and spiritually, down to your self-esteem. Instead of reinforcing positivity and complimenting yourself on the good things, focusing on the negative can ultimately diminish your productivity. Recognize that you are amazing and constantly craving to evolve yourself to become a better person. While it’s great to celebrate the success of others, you deserve to be celebrated as well!
Self-Judgment
[00:56] Now, in essence, self-judgment is not a positive emotion; it is a negative emotion. Each idea you have, each perception you have, affects your health, whether positive or harmful. And each negative emotion, it’s as if it injects poison into your system. And, of course, if you inject venom into your system, you will suffer severe consequences.
[01:35] If you truly value your health, you must minimize self-judgment. Research has proven that your body naturally gets weak when you think about a negative thought. And when you believe in positive thinking, your body automatically becomes stronger. Thus, if you evaluate yourself, which is a negative mindset, your body is naturally weakened. And if your body is depleted, your health will suffer, not improve.
[02:27] Self-criticism is also terrible since it harms your psyche. You have no time to think about your dreams, no time to make plans, no time to make sales calls, no time to write that novel or book you’ve meant to write. You must be conscious of all of this and its genuine impact on your psyche.
[03:48] Self-criticism erodes one’s self-esteem. Self-criticism and self-judgment are not positive self-talk; Those are negative self-talk. And we all know that feeling bad about oneself is a significant indication of low or negative self-esteem. Imagine judging yourself. You hate yourself. Complimenting yourself or doing something good for someone else should naturally boost your self-esteem. Self-judgment immediately lowers your self-esteem.
How to Reduce Self Judgement
[05:03] You must be forgiving of yourself. That is to say, making a mistake is not the end of the world. Therefore, you must learn to forgive yourself and say, “I’m sorry I did that.” You’re transmitting an emotion, a mentality that this has occurred, and it’s time to go on. Individuals find it slightly simpler to forgive others than to forgive themselves. You deserve to love and cherish yourself, and you deserve to accept yourself as you are. And that one of the keys to doing so is making a sincere decision to forgive yourself.
[06:48] You owe it to yourself to be kind to yourself and recognize your importance in the world. You are who you are, and you are entitled to the highest possible state of health. And because it is the case for humans, we are aware that a mistake has occurred. That is not the end of your story. It’s merely a reminder of what you need to change.
[07:24] Forgive others because someone might say something to you now. And then you use that as a measure to assess yourself harshly. Forgive them; they have no idea why they are speaking.
