Stop Judgements
It's time to free yourself from the burden of worrying about others' opinions. As you walk down the street or through a hallway, you may experience a sense of unease or anxiety. Thoughts creep in, suggesting that someone might be judging you negatively. But why should you invest any energy in what others think?
In all honesty, it's pointless to dwell on the thoughts of others because you can never truly know what they're thinking. Your brain tries to guess their thoughts, but it's not very good at it. These thoughts are weighing you down, slowing your progress significantly. However, let's shift the focus to yourself for now.
Every time you step outside or engage in small talk with someone you're not close to, the thought crosses your mind, "What if they don't like me?" - who cares? I know it sounds harsh, but this mindset only hampers your own growth, not theirs. If you're determined to be the best version of yourself in your own universe, others' judgments should neither affect you nor matter to you. Don't let a fleeting thought dictate your life. It will only hinder your progress.
Perhaps you hesitate to dress in a way that you love because you fear judgment. That nagging thought tells you that people will look at you strangely. Well, it's time to tell that thought to disappear. Let's delve into the science behind why people judge.
This relates to the default mode network in the brain, which serves various functions, including controlling the ego. The ego and default mode network evolved for survival. Due to this survival instinct, the ego seeks to feel superior to others, but social constructs limit its full expression. If you had infinite money and power, what would you do? The ego judges others because that's the most damage it can inflict. Now, here's a revelation: those who fear being judged, do you find yourself judging others? Chances are, you do to some extent. But that's okay; the ego is just one controlling part of the brain.
Imagine the freedom you would experience by truly not caring about others' thoughts. So, from now on, whenever you catch yourself judging or feeling judged, remind yourself that it's not who you are. You don't want to judge or be afraid of judgment. The more you work on your mind, the easier it becomes. You'll gain confidence and regain control over your life. Eventually, as more people realize this, we can live in greater harmony. But for now, focus on yourself and strive to be the best version of yourself possible. Don't let judgments slow you down.
 Meditation is far more important than you might think. It allows you to hyperfocus on your thoughts and nothing else. It grants you the opportunity to take a breath and observe the chaos inside your mind. Initially, it might feel overwhelming, but keep letting those thoughts go and embrace pure awareness. Be mindful of your thoughts without becoming your thoughts. Embrace the freedom within your chaotic mind.
