RELEASING JUDGMENT I remember when I was a child and every summer we drove over a 1,000 miles to visit my Grandmother. She alwyas spent part of our long awaited visit criticizing my Mother and telling her the RIGHT way to raise children. I loved my Grandmother but I really hated her criticizism. Are you one of those people who has an opinion about everything and everybody? Do you find yourself frequently complaining about things or criticizing others—or worse, criticizing yourself? Do you feel that judging others or yourself is just an innocent pastime? NO!!! Whatever you focus on becomes your reality, whether you are focused on something good or on something bad. If you are constantly judgmental or critical about events or people or behaviors, you are making sure you will have more and more of those things in your life, because by focusing on them you are asking for them.
The first step in ridding yourself of this destructive habit is to make yourself aware of when you are thinking judgmental, critical thoughts—about others or about yourself. Here is one method for recognizing and realeasing judgment. It's called a judgment jar. Get yourself a jar, any jar will do. Make a label for it that says Judgment Jar and stick it on the jar. Next you will need to cut or tear some scraps of paper, you may need a lot of them at first! Put the paper and a pen next to the jar.
Now. Every time you find yourself thinking a thought that is judgmental, critical, or negative in any way, about someone else, something else, or about yourself, write that thought on a scrap of paper and deposit it into your jar. As you do so, say to yourself, “I release this negative thought from my mind. I now choose to think thoughts of love and to send blessings to this person/situation.”
When your jar becomes full, take out all the thoughts and rid yourself of them. You can burn them, trash them, bury them, flush them or tear them into tiny pieces, just be sure that you let them go! When you do so, say to yourself, “I am now free of judgment and criticism. I now know that variety is necessary in life. It is wonderful that each of us has so many options to choose from!”
Even if you consider yourself a positive person you may benefit from using the judgement jar. Don’t be discouraged if your judgment jar is nearly full by the end of the first day! Over time you will find yourself being less and less judgmental. You will also find more positive things happening in your life because whatever you focus on becomes your reality.
