thank you for this, Marika. I have noticed over the last several months how my interpretation of my circumstances, internal and external, effect my mood and perspective. I think a lot of what I've been calling interpretation is judgement. This post gave me a heads up, and I appreciate it!
Emily, thanks for this comment. You know I've been thinking about what to call it, too. I like interpretations because it sounds more neutral than judgment. But sometimes, you just want to call it out!
This is 100% what I need! I noticed that February is the most judgmental month for me. I feel like I go from deep and thoughtful reflection around the holidays, feeling mostly gratitude and joy, to midwinter blues and frustration with myself and others in February. Thank you so much for spiking my awareness, and I will definitely be following along with the challenge!
Yeah, Leanne, February can be so hard. Thanks for sharing this perspective, I never thought about that timing before. Looking forward to sprinting together!💪
Thanks for such an open and human post about your experiences with self-judgement. I relate! I felt so unmotivated today and immediately lapsed into feeling impatient and annoyed with my self. It's challenging to be human sometimes.
Lol, exactly, Heidi! I guess it's part of that "negativity bias" our brains are prone to... it's not like we have to eliminate it completely. Just maybe stop believing it so often...?

Yes, I agree.

Thank you, Judy. Yes, being human is challenging. Aren't we lucky? ;)
Yes and I am always tapping into self-compassion which makes able to love my messy, human self and the world of messy humans.
February lends itself to being grumbly and judgy. I’ll join you in turning it around 😘.
Happy to have you along, my friend.❤️
Very much with you on this! I'm the "calm, cheerful one" and I still hear this voice in my head all the time.

I am here for this Marika. I am oh so very judgey.
