How To Stop Judging Yourself

[@AaronDoughty44]

I think the key is to drop the labels of how we define ourselves. When I meet other people I do my best not to mentally put them into a box by labeling them. Labels are a form of judgment and cause separation. At a deeper level I believe we are all one so the less labels the less separation. Both towards labeling other people and mentally labeling ourselves. Great video bro and much love!

[@secretagent3764]

Aaron you are correct. Somehow the labeling people is pretty strong around many other individuals I know. my spouse always says exactly what you just said here

[@kaecilius2656]

+Secret Agent I believe the richest people on Earth really do rule the show by the contact with the Gods themselves who created this universe reality. If there is or are gods. They pass down the guidelines to them as well as to any person, accordingly to their own life, position among others, needs and purpose. Why not? Just because we're no longer with a Religious authority in the ultimate control doesn't mean that the current power elite isn't also being guided to rule by 'divine' order. "Divine", Extradimensional, Alien, The Architect from the Matrix, the Aether, quintessence... whatever it is if there always were since the dawn of civilization as we know. If atheists are wrong then that's how it is, no matter how much envy and disgust anyone has against the ruling power elite. Just deal with it... or try to be one of them instead of judging and distancing, which will make anyone more and more poor and embrace poorness in general at some point.

[@m3mario]

+edymasta thanks for that. I already follows his channel. In fact I have already attended inner engineering and have been initiated to shambhavi. I have also personally seen him at the shambhavi just initiation. Actualized is still a deep look and a different approach to personal development.

[@edymasta]

+m4mario that's nice. Do you recommend it?

[@m3mario]

+edymasta yes. but don't expect overnight change. It's going to take years and the change will be so gradual, that u will almost not notice anything. It's like slimming down.

This was awesome Leo. I watch other people on youtube about self help like elliot hulse and some well known speakers like les brown and brendon burchard. However, I like your longer style videos and how they come across as more introspective for long term growth rather than a quick "pump up" motivational piece. Thank you Leo

[@danield6675]

Does you solved the problem 4 years later? :)

[@donnaevans4011]

So dead on! You do it without too much thought. Your exercise is perfect. Mindfulness should be practised everyday all day. Put yourself in the shoes of the person you are judging.

[@happyhappener9766]

So powerful. I think your best video to date. I have been babysitting my two young cousins since they were born. The boy is 10 and the girl is 5. Both are so smart. The girl, in particular, is pretty vocal and has already started picking up on her parent's judgments about people. One day my aunt and the girl were walking out of a store and some seemingly homeless people asked for money. My aunt said no. The little one later asked why my aunt said no. Her response was the people needed to get a job. Another instance was when my cousin called some people dirty because of the way they were dressed. She's 5. Children don't come into the world like this. I try to flip things around when I'm there and give a different perspective hoping it'll stick. This stuff starts so young. I see it in myself too. I can see where I've hated on rich people and men. We're all taught these things, until we wake up. Your raw, live admission of judgments helped me tremendously. Thank you.

[@MarioTomicOfficial]

This video is super on point, especially now that a lot of people are judging themselves for blowing their diet during Christmas lol! Thanks Leo!

Leo, you posted this video 7 years ago (and all of the other videos I've immersed myself in the last 1 month) - I never knew of you until I heard your name in a forum. I came on here to search you out and I think so far I've covered about 19 of your videos. I'm leaving this comment on the 23rd of April 2023. I want to THANK YOU from the very depth of my heart and soul. You have lifted me from the miry clay. You've opened my eyes and all the shackles have fallen off. I am liberated and I will continue to be liberated as I apply all of your principles. I don't know where you are now but wherever you are Leo, please accept my deepest gratitude. You have no idea what you have done for me and others. God bless you and elevate you in all that you do. Amen.

[@ewazwonarz]

[@limeros88]

The World is your mirror is a concept that helped me a lot, with non judgment. when I judge others I judge myself and the other way around. Oneness or non-duality. And it's not some spiritual wo wo.. without any practical application in our life. test it and be mindful about what you actually know about others.. and it's nothing! All you know is that you know the sens perceptions, but they themselves hold no story other than the one you apply. This is has made me appreciate everyone as they are and understand that violence is only grounded in unconscious behaviour and as for myself they are only hurting themselves. therefore conflict is an illusion that only brings suffering on it's own origin. As Jesus said: forgive them father for they know not what they are doing.

[@michaelfutch8960]

I really like your videos so far, Leo. Pro tip: remember that when one finger points at someone else four more fingers are pointing right back at you.

[@RobertGolusinski]

You miss important one on your list which is first on mine: "He/She is so judgmental"

[@Hi-ov5nj]

[@soubhikmukherjee6871]

Thanks Leo. I'm watching your old episodes. It's totally worth it.

[@brettwintersmusic]

It's tough to call yourself out on your shit. Powerful stuff, Leo. Something to watch out for: even after direct consciousness of your true nature, there's still mounds and mounds of these "hidden rules" waiting to be uncovered. Awakening is usually not the end-all-be-all; the real work usually occurs after the fact when you uncover more and more of your conditioning as you become more and more authentic.

[@ActualizedOrg]

+DiagonalHorizon That's correct. Enlightenment is only the beginning of real self-development work. Which is why it's so important. A new hope.

I’ve watched this video when you posted and it really opened my eyes. I thought I changed but watching this now again I realize that I’m still judging a lot. I’m more conscious but still hard not to judge. I judge someone and then at the same moment I’m thinking „no don’t judge, why do you judge?“ but why do I judge in the first place ?

Hello Leo. I am in lockdown with your videos committed to getting more self-actualised. I have fallen off the beaten track and even lost my wheels. I was shocked to see that my self judgement list was so over crowded when thinking negatively of others and yet, I got stumped when It came to positive judgements for myself , I wrote a rather five. I hope to knock down the walls together because I have been behind these forever.

[@irmenaeneva]

Hey Leo. Love your videos. I am following you now for 6 months and i really see a good change in myself and i am proud of that. I just wanted to ask you how do I get along with negative people? My whole family is sucking all the positive energy out of me and i feel so miserable. I feel like i have nothing to live for. I would really appreciate it if you reply. Thank you and keep it up

+Actualized.org Leo, don't take me wrong, but "running away" and not facing the judgments one makes towards family members is incoherent to your message.... or am i misinterpreting it? thx

[@hendrik9527]

+Miranda Kerr I have a similar problem. Sometimes it's no so easy to maintain that distance. I try to not talk about personal growth topics because most my family has never dealt with them at all. If you try to teach math to a monkey, he will throw shit at you. That's just how it is. However, it's hard to avoid these topics if you (like me) are very passionate about them. It helps, tough, to know what your values are and to be very clear on them. The more uncertain you are the easier it is for people to attack you and drag you down. I recommend you to look for an exercise to find out what your true values are.

[@limeros88]

I made a judgment against her, and then I struggled all my childhood and adult life with issues around stealing. Always noticing it, wondering if I'm being stolen from, stealing myself for apparently no reasons, and never understanding why. WHY. NOW I KNOW. BLESS YOU LEO. Bless you. I managed to fight my impulse to steal, but I never knew why. You have changed my life.

[@missdivinegoddess728]

what are you saying?

[@m3mario]

Question Leo: How does one not ever place judgements? Is that even possible? If I want to pick regular places to eat, I should decide for myself that some are good restaurants and some are bad. Isn't that some sort of judgement? Isn't judgement needed to navigate through life?

[@RCJPistolPete89]

I do believe thats what eastern monks aspire to. Be totally at one with everything.

[@ActualizedOrg]

+m4mario You should make a distinction between petty judgments vs evaluations. Choosing a restaurant is not a problem at all unless you badmouth other restaurants in the process. Your mind has natural preferences for what it does and doesn't like. We are not trying to erase those preferences here. What we're concerned about here is petty unconscious judgments like: "I fucking hate McDonalds. It's disgusting, only fat people eat there, they exploit their workers, and their CEO is a greedy asshole." Instead of thinking all that, you would simply say, "Let's go to Chipotle. I like Chipotle!"

[@RandzMind8]

Leo, I'm permanently reflecting myself and get off track in putting myself together, not be forced into suicidal thoughts, I probably judged me about the fact that I'm frustrated, depressed and unsuccessfull in life and now it's a neurotic cycle that has it's roots in my subconciousness and I would need a long long time to break these negative emotions and my ego. But with 21 years I also have a lot of "normal" dutys to follow, in fact, I mess up everything while being trapped inside my head

Now I have been struggling because of my tendency I always put other people first, ignore my feelings. This video is also very brilliant! Yes, I am going to write about both positive and negative judgement lists that I made about other people and myself. Thanks!

[@FireKinta]

Hey Leo, thank you for another great video! I'd like to say that the exercise did help me see the way negative judgements impact my life, but it also got me thinking - are positive judgements really that bad? When we have something nice to say about others (and DO express it) we lift other people up, gain good karma: everyone benefits! And if we have a healthy self-esteem, even if we do start to compare and feel inferior to this person in some way, there's always something, from within, that can reverse this negative effect, isn't there?

I've sabotaged my success so many times with money because I felt so guilty for succeeding.

[@geonubae1121]

As soon as the video ended, I found myself judging my surroundings again. And I got scared by the fact that I'm doing it constantly and I wanted it to stop but It made me feel like I'm stuck in a limbo. I was judging myself judging. So I unleashed my judging habit and let it judge freely while I was paying attention to it. judging stopped but silence followed. I didn't know what to do instead of judging because that's how I lived all my life and maybe the only way my unconsciousness and ego need to stay existent. Not judging meant annihilation of my ego. I found myself trembling and clueless but I thought of a word 'vulnerability'. This is how vulnerable I and humans are. I looked around sitting in a cafe and there were many other people. They all seemed as vulnerable as I am. We are all vulnerable beings looking for a certain shape of life that can possible hold us tight and prevent us from trembling, shaking, being afraid of making mistakes, being ashamed in front of others because we are not good enough and looking like a new born baby without a clue. We are endlessly begging for any kind of assurance or certainty as we are vulnerable from day one. But once you step into this dark, deep murky water with your own feet, stepping into uncertainty or uncharted territory, your life journey will finally, and truly begin. It's okay if you are scared. that's how beautiful our life is.

This came at the best moment, and I was looking for a video like this yesterday. It's funny too, that just before I watched this video, I saw a movie and the main character really caught my eye, and I thought, "Wow, he's really cool," but subconsciously, I was comparing myself to him, and that's when insecurity and guilt came, like I wasn't good enough. So I even started emulating him a little bit. Anyway, now I see that those judgements/comparisons happen in almost every facet of my life, and affects my behavior in very harmful ways. Thank you for the insight; this is really going to propel me forward in my personal development. In fact, I can already feel the gears and cogs reworking and shifting in my mind while I find these hidden judgements that've been out-of-sight for so many years.

I am beyond amazed how great this talk is. It feels like you have woken me from a deep sleep of ignorance and not knowingness. Thank you. Appreciate all the work and time you put in this. How do I sign up for your news letter. Thank you Parvin

For the judgements I put a Star next to, I created a separate list with two headings - Old Mindset and New Mindset - to help reprogramme previous biases. I elaborated on the reason I judged certain things in the past and wrote a new perspective next to it ... found it helpful

when you judge yourself negatively, you are disapproving yourself, you are giving yourself a reason to find yourself rejectable, you start unloving yourself, you see yourself as not good enough. sometimes we disapprove people that we don't find interesting enough, entertaining enough, like if it were their responsibility to entertain us, like a TV channel that we can change if it doesn't please us, the truth is that people don't exist to please you, they only have to be themselves, they only have to live. just like them, you don't have to be a super human, you don't have to be impressive, entertaining, interesting, you just have to be yourself. you are ok just the way you are, embrace yourself as you are, with all your flaws and virtues, the goal is to accept yourself and love yourself.
