SELF-OBSERVATION WITHOUT JUDGMENT
Release the harsh and pointed inner
voice. it’s just a throwback to the past,
and holds no truth about this moment.
Let go of self-judgment, the old,
learned ways of beating yourself up
for each imagined inadequacy.
Allow the dialogue within the mind
to grow friendlier, and quiet. Shift
out of inner criticism and life
suddenly looks very different.
i can say this only because I make
the choice a hundred times a day to release the voice that refuses to
acknowledge the real me.
What’s needed here isn’t more prodding toward perfection, but
intimacy – seeing clearly, and
embracing what I see.
Love, not judgment, sows the
seeds of tranquility and change.
Poem by Danna Faulds
REFLECTION:
- I believe many of us (especially me) have a harsh inner critic.
- Do you prod yourself toward perfection and allow that inner critic to be the only voice you hear?
- What if you could shift to a quieter more friendly voice? How would that change you and your way of being in the world?
- Today, allow LOVE … non judgment( silence the inner critic) to sow the seeds of change and peace.
