Many people cling to the myth that those who are successful inevitably feel good about themselves and are free from self-doubt and insecurities. #coachjoeNo matter how accomplished we are, no matter how happy we may seem, we all hold onto negative self-judgements, and they hold onto us.Framework for managing self-judgment:1️⃣ Reframe negative self-judgements. Mindfulness practice to be self-reflective not of self-centered. Balancing judgement with courage.2️⃣ Recognize the stories the mind spins. You may not have awareness that the mind is embellishing your self-judgement in an unwholesome way.3️⃣ Add a new thought into the mix.
