There’s a reason I never email y’all on a Monday.
It’s because nobody needs another email on a Monday…
But this is important. It could change your life this week. It could:
-save a relationship
-increase creative output by 4x
-unlock compassion and self-kindness when you need it most
-fire-up your problem-solving gear when you’re stuck
-spare yourself hours of spinning and negativity
Join us for a 5-day sprint to go judgment-free.
Yes, I know there’s a lot of disgusting crap happening in the world. My personal experience has been that working with my judgments—the ones that keep us stuck and prevent us from taking constructive, compassionate action—is a way of counterbalancing this.
Feel the different energy in the following statements:
He’s so selfish.
vs.
I’m wanting to feel more connection and collaboration.I’m so lazy and unproductive.
vs.
I really value accomplishment and making progress on my goals.
This week—for the next 5 days—let’s practice noticing our judgments, then transforming them by considering what’s underneath. What are the unmet needs or values behind those judgments? How can recognizing these shift your energy so you can move forward with purpose and deliberate action?
If you need a cheat sheet or like to track things, I made you one:
I will host a chat every day over on Substack where we can discuss how it’s going, and I will post a daily focus. Here’s a link to the chat for Day 1 below. I won’t email y’all every day, but I will post in this chat every day, so come on over and say hi!
And if you want to read more about how I started this experiment and why I’m inviting you to join me:
You’re awesome. (And yes, that’s a judgment I’m hanging onto.)
I had a very rough Sunday where I sent an email with what I thought were "helpful" ideas only to worry that once again I was offering unwanted advice and would piss off the recipient. My inner people pleaser was completely flipping out. Fortunately it all worked out. Still my little gremlins are very noisy and can make feel very shitty.
It's been a week... so I haven't been in your chat but I've been noticing judgements all week, thank you for your helpful prompt in doing so.
