A huge focus of today's ep is JUDGEMENT & negative thoughts about other people. How frustrating is it when you can feel yourself being hung up or stuck on a situation, person or comment!? The truth is, when we feel this way, we are responding to something that clashes with our own fundamental values or metric for success/"the right way" of doing things. SO this means that there's an opportunity each time we feel this way, to get introspective and learn something about ourselves!Tune in to find out how + link up with us on IG and say hey @thebalancetheory 👋Send this to someone & share the Balance love.Until next time,Stay BalancedSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory.
