\"JaniceJUDGING Machines:\u00a0 Me (for sure) and YOU, too???<\/i><\/b>
\nI suspect that when you pay attention to your thoughts and note each and every time you judge something, judge anything (from … the coffee is good – to- oh no, it’s gray outside – to- I ate too much)<\/i>, you will find that there’s a whole lotta’ judging going on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of labeling things as\u00a0 ‘good’ or ‘bad,’<\/b><\/i> simply accept them; accept the ‘is-ness’<\/b><\/i> of things, the ‘is-ness’ of life.\u00a0 Note the judgment and repeat to yourself, it is neither good nor bad, <\/b><\/i>‘it just is.’<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 When you move to this place of balance, you can alleviate the push n’ pull, the ups n’ downs, the to and fro\u2019s of good vs. bad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028‘It just is’ is a place of balance.\u00a0 <\/i><\/b>And in this place of balance you will not only learn to accept things the way that they are, you will also see things in an entirely new light and with it your judgements will dissipate into thin air<\/i><\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n

You no longer expect people to act in a certain way, for you to be a certain way; you are now free to simply take things as they come and be content with whatever ‘is.’\u00a0 Leave judgment and disappointment behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here<\/span>…<\/span>
\n...A STEP by STEP Guide to Living a JUDGMENT FREE Life! <\/span><\/b>
\nIt is neither a good approach, nor a bad approach.\u00a0 It just is … an approach.\u00a0 Approach it.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 AWARENESS First, Always.<\/b> \u00a0Note when you make judgments.\u00a0 Any and all judgments of any and all kinds.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 IT. JUST. IS.<\/b>\u00a0 Pause.\u00a0 Take in a deep breath.\u00a0 On the in breath say, “It just…” \u00a0\u2028\/ On the outbreath say, “is…”\u00a0 .<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SEE.<\/b>\u00a0 See the landscape of your life without the judgment and expectation filters.\u00a0\u2028<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ACCEPT IT.<\/b>\u00a0 Accept life as it ‘is.’\u00a0 Accept people for who they are (without judgment\/without expectation<\/i>).\u00a0 Accept yourself.\u2028<\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PRACTICE IS’Ness.<\/b>\u00a0 Accept yourself, accept others, accept the way things are … again and again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 BE.<\/b>\u00a0 \u00a0Be in the present moment, knowing that this moment contains infinite possibilities, and these possibilities are open to you, just as they are – without layers of judgment or expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that this week’s KICK helps to alleviate judgment, alleviate optional suffering, and frees us all just a tiny bit more to fully jump into and enjoy life!\u00a0 La Vida Loca!\u00a0 (For your viewing pleasure:\u00a0 La Vida Loca<\/a> by Ricky Martin; a flashback moment!)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
