Be gentle to yourself
Be super gentle with yourself and do not judge what you do when you go back to your old patterns and into your comfort zone again. When you realize about it, just forgive yourself and be gentle. Don’t start judging yourself harshly (belive me, we can be our worst enemy).
In Gabrielle’s book, the Judgement Detox [affiliate link], we go through a detox of all types of judgements that keep us stuck. (I won’t lie to you, this is quite a challenging book. However, it has its very nice rewards). We tend to judge our actions very harshly. We’re horrible to ourselves! If we are so poor in treating ourselves, how do you think we’ll end up treating others sometimes? (Gossip anyone?) So, the challenge here is to stop judging because we do it either directly in our heads (and we literally say the most horrifying things slashing at ourselves hideously), or we do it on others because they mirror our fears. Yes, that gossips and judgement on the neighbor, it’s actually a mirror on yourself.
To manage not derail from my path and my personal growth, I’ve set a pampering agenda for myself. If I go back into slashing myself into my head, I forgive myself and choose again. Then, I plot a pampering activity that will bring me calm. (For me is either a good book while sipping tea or coffee, or session of meditation while staring out in the sky.) Find your vibe and use it every time you find yourself judging. This will help you in going out of your comfort zone and shining your like wherever you go. And do you know what? You’ll attract the most amazing experiences and people into your life 🙂
