Comparing myself to others without realizing it is one of my character defects. When I judge someone, it feels like I’m trying to pull the covers off them to expose some hidden truth, but really, I’m pulling the covers over myself to hide my own insecurities. My instinct to judge comes from an inferiority complex. I’m bracing myself for imagined failure. A lifetime of experiences set me up to predetermine how interactions with people will go and my mind projects my lack of self-esteem onto them. Judgment is a defense mechanism that keeps me stuck in an old unhealthy mindset.Self-awareness interrupts my autopilot of comparison and fear. When I recognize mid-thought, “I’m judging this person right now,” everything shifts. Judgment stops being about the other person and becomes a cue to look inward and examine the fear or insecurity underneath. We all act from wounds we didn’t choose, and self-awareness helps me choose humility instead of fear and connect instead of imagine competition. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and YouTube. YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8OjhKjP1B_vJDObeBDPBrARather listen on Apple Podcasts? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recovery-daily-podcast/id1693924779 Visit my Etsy shop, and join my creative journey at Recovery Upcycling. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcycling To learn more about vestibular disorders visit https://vestibular.org #selfawareness #emotionalrecovery #personalgrowth #soberliving #healingjourney #mentalclarity #mindsetshift #innerwork #fearlessliving #recoverywisdom
