Don't Be Scared of Being Judged

In a world of social media and constant connection, constant judgment can easily become a major part of our lives. We may make decisions based on what others will think. We may even behave in ways that go against who we truly are, all to live up to some artificial view of what society thinks we should want and who we should be.
By seeing reality as it truly is, by reducing our judgment of other people for what they do, and by tapping into our inner strength and wisdom, we can transform our fear of judgment into courage and confidence. In this video, I explain how to do just that.
I and everyone else on our team is beyond grateful for your support. You are helping us grow our Community of Kindness. Your support helps us make even more and even better high quality videos that we can share with the world to help lift everyone up so we can all live our best lives possible - all at no cost to viewers and we intend to keep it that way.

What a beautiful message! You have a special way of getting to the heart of the matter. Your words and voice touch me deeply and I know others feel the same way. Thank you!

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Thank YOU 🙏🏻

[@JnTmarie]

Kindness starts at home. Believing your kindness matters. Start being kind with your own thoughts to yourself. Then you can give it away. Smallest spark can make a bright flame when nurtured 🙏🏻❤️.

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Beautiful 🙏🏻❤️

[@stevebonder3571]

Your ability to explain all these complex concepts in such simpler words is so amazing. Thanks for sharing with us

[@liveuRlife2thefullest]

This is exactly what I needed right now, you see.. I think I'm already changing as a person when in fact , I'm really still so toxic not only with other people but as well as myself. This I relate to. I now realize it's because of why I'm labelling and judging everyone, even though I keep it in my mind and doesn't say it out loud. You have a really clear point here and it did open my mind and understanding. So on point I reflect on my self and made me realize to just LOVE.

[@iam-not-late]

Beautiful art work Todd. I fully agree with you that not judging others takes a lot of practice, yet well worth the effort.

[@anuradhakulkarni3872]

You mean to say … that we also appreciate the moments of feeling hurt or being insulted like another one of life’s experiences. And think of life like a string of such moments or nows and thereby life life like a joyful experience - by standing in observation of all these singular moments for literally what they are - as-of-now. 🤔

[@floristc4759]

Hi Todd, just wanted to thank you for your wisdom and for spreading some light 🙏🏻🍃💫

[@sonjalillard114]

I am going to watch this over and over because it is so helpful. 🙏

[@PDogB]

Me too. It's such a great meditation.

[@graememac376]

I'm taking notes in my journal as we speak. He is amazing

This is a beautiful message. I have a doubt: how can you embrace the reality and the present moment with joy when is full of suffering or injustice for others? During a war or living in a dictatorship country. I wonder how can I do it. I need to do it, without looking away from what's happening or living into a selfish bubble. Thanks.

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Thanks so much for the question. It needs a long answer. I will try to answer it in my newsletter as soon as possible.🙏

[@MattSteeves]

Its amazing to see your channel growing...Pretty exciting and well deserved! Thank you for another great video :)

[@mritzs5142]

Todd not only is it a gift to have your gentle but powerful presence in our lives, we get to take these messages to others I so appreciate you 🙏 and the very essence of your energy seems to stay , it doesn’t fade off, once the device ,the phone,tablet, the lap top ,we watch you on turns off...you are still there.

[@ToddPerelmuter]

You are too kind. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@andrewhussey8702]

What we see is the projection of our mind which we presume to our " mine" Brilliant explanation.

[@andrewhussey8702]

To be our "mine"

[@mikeh6511]

This wisdom reminds me of Eckhart Tolle's work. This is a reminder to me that I need to practice not labeling people or things. To also be present and see the beauty in everything around me. I take way too much for granted. Thank you ✌️

[@ToddPerelmuter]

That is such a nice compliment to hear 🙏🏻

[@timbaker266]

Less judgment more acceptance more love, if I'm getting this labels are judgment and take away from the realness of things by conceptualizing ?

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Absolutely

[@theshepherdsflame6017]

I really needed this message. Thank you.

[@timbaker266]

Thanks again man , you have the gift of helping others , just really want to encourage you , you are a good teacher

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Thank you so much. That means a lot 🙏🏻

[@ewilliams6727]

Love your clips with background music the best. And around 10 mins. Thank you so much.

[@TobasscoJelly]

Thank you for another brilliant video. Much appreciated. There is science behind the labeling. When you label something within (anxiety, negative thought etc) you activate your 'self referencing centre' which kick starts the self awarness of experience. Aka you activate your Prefrontal cortex.

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing

[@maryseokley6061]

Touched to the core...🌟

[@goodlife5D]

your voice is so soothing and relevant , thank you for sharing your wisdom

[@holistic477]

Thank-you so much .....u have cleared so many things I needed the most just through this vedio....u are blessed n doing a wonderful job😍

[@maryseokley6061]

I appreciate....UR conveying this precious message!

[@Dieselhate]

It’s Amazing and Affirming how Spiritual Teachers ( Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Peter Crone…and Todd) all point to the same Truth…just using their own words. Words are just pointers, they are not the thing itself just like the word “Tree” is not really a Tree just a pointer to the Tree. A Tree is much deeper than the simple four letter word.

[@MaggieBurgerSmit]

Thank you Todd for sharing your inner genius with us. Fantastic 💫greetings from Cape Town🐬💚

[@snowlionnesse]

Thanks very well said and very nice communicating too. 😊

[@headrockdogsrescue899]

[@michelecoulter9284]

you bring such profound wisdom gentleness and truth. I love your thoughts and lessons Todd. thank you for sharing. ❤

[@Lili-tl7nl]

To the writer of this video if you like you said a lot of really cool things that were original at least original to these old ears

[@bonnieclark8069]

I took this as my shield from a very young child as religious dogma came at me from all sides , what I did not do was to keep from judging back! This blinded me to what I needed to do for my own life. I became hurt, shamed and lost my voice using a shield to prevent the bombardment of hurtful assessments of me by those who were in conflict with life itself.? What a wow moment to see this. "When you label me you negate me... Clean up your own messes before you tell me how to deal with mine and vice versa.

[@rebeccacollins1218]

My goal is now to accumulate these moments of presence, and not be a human projector, but be a human, so I can grow self-worth and share compassion.

[@sandramcgleish2645]

You are Amazing! I am so grateful I found you and your videos! God Bless You, Todd!

[@thelovechannel7236]

I listened to your videos all day Sunday . They brought me such peace and understanding. .

[@cedarcanoe]

Don’t agree here. Classification is what society is build on. Otherwise structure, organization and order would not be possible. That doesn’t individualities are thrown away by categorizing them.

[@ToddPerelmuter]

You are absolutely correct, labels and classifications are essential for efficient communication. It's the mistaking of labels for the actual thing - when they become labels and symbols in our mind instead of taking in the beingness or essence of what we are observing. For example, we are not our names, we are so much more.

[@Dieselhate]

Beautiful! Bless You my Brother

[@DheerajSharma-ro5ot]

Love you Man , Sir , Master . Thanx alot .

[@ToddPerelmuter]

You are my inspiration, brother

[@ElisPalmer]

Love this,thanks ~🌟

[@Rose-From-the-Dead]

Needed to hear this one really bad.

[@SuketaPatel]

So clear. When there is nothing left to attach to, there is nothing. Nothing to judge. Nobody exists inside to judge from or judge to. Beautiful 🙏🇨🇦❤️🌈🌎🦋🌺🏄‍♀️

[@maryseokley6061]

Incredible revelation....

[@SylviaSantiago-qz9oo]

Todd is the Man! If you don’t who he is then you need to find out! The way he explains things in a practical unpretentious way is like no other in my opinion and easily grasped by the heart (not mind) thank you Todd, you are helping me with my journey of waking up…

[@vinomoopanar3108]

🙏 Thankyou for your inspiration. SA. 👌🙌

[@umnovosol.chillvibes]

Que mensagem incrivel Todd. Estou escrevendo em português porque o meu inglês não permitiria expressar o tamanho do significado que este video teve para mim. Fiquei preso e não queria que acabasse, praticamente uma meditação em forma de ensinamento, quero te agradecer por esta obra e dizer o quão importante seu trabalho é, para alguem do outro lado do mundo e que ainda sim é um dos que você conseguiu chegar e fazer a diferença. Muito sucesso!!!!

[@danielnezis1041]

But how do we stop judging others?

[@ToddPerelmuter]

We have to first stop judging ourselves. Only then can we project a non judgmental attitude.

[@maryseokley6061]

"Loving what is"......BE present NOW
