Judgement and beliefs with Mindfulness
Check In for November 11th to November 13th 2024
Happy Veterans Day to those who celebrate this day and to those who have served in our Armed Forces or with children in the Armed Forces we thank you for your service.
This week's forum post is about judgement and beliefs in Mindfulness. Judgment is defined as the act or instance of judging. The ability to judge, make your own decision and form of an opinion objectively. A belief is defined as to have trust, faith and confidence in someone.
We as humans are active thinkers constantly thinking about things everyday. It is like the expression " MY mind is all over the place" is because we are not just thinking of one thing, Our minds may have several things floating around.
When someone in our life does wrong by us there are many things we begin to think about "why they did or said something" " Why did they have to hurt me" "what did I do wrong for them to be rude or disrespectful to me". This is known as over thinking because we begin to have things floating around our mind of what happened.
The following is a handout of non judgmental mindfulness: https://tinyurl.com/ajv9n748

This is an amazing thread, very helpful! Thank you so much for the mindfulness core handout too.
Something I find particularly helpful is "See but do not evaluate" but rather observe, process and understand.
@pamharley003. Something that I have tried and has been helpful for me is to reduce my use of unfair and should. Although there are many things in life that are unfair I find telling myself that things are unfair or should have been different makes me feel more sad and anxious.

I can so relate branch because I used to do this when I was younger. Accepting how things are which I cannot change helped me most.
@pamharley003
I am facing this problem right now. I practice meditation and journaling but results are far now.
@pamharley003 I really like this thread. It goes into detail perfectly. Our judgement can be defined by our beliefs. I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
I learned something today - WHY our body judges - if it perceives it as a threat!
If I can be mindful of everything that I want to "judge" I can instead change my thought to "why am I perceiving this as a threat?" and answer the question about ME not about the external thing.
Great!

That's a good question to ask yourself 👍

See but don't evaluate is a big one for me.
Also changing "you" statements into "I" statements. When I use "you" statements I'm often making a judgement about what someone else is doing and why eg "you are pissing me off" tends to lead to "you are rude/you are the problem". Whereas "I'm triggered" is more likely to lead to "huh! So I am!"
@pamharley003
Also, recognising the special-ness of the uniqueness of everyone, including myself.
When I recognise the value of these differences, its much easier to not judge. Eg I didn't do xyz wrong, I did it differently and it's good to be different. Or that person isn't useless because they have failed at that task, they just have a different way to do it that isn't so effective.
@pamharley003 hello, thank you so much for this post!!!!
