When judgment becomes involved in the thought process, the joy is removed because they can\u2019t coexist.   Similarly, when we expect others, who are \u201cless\u201d than we are to look \u201cup\u201d to us, that creates a strain on our society. This thought paradigm strains our society because we judge individually. Whether you judge yourself or judge yourself through the eyes of others, the knife cuts both ways.   Different Types of Energy   Defending yourself against something means that it exists. If you take a moment to reflect and ask yourself, \u201cAm I judging myself, or am I judging myself through other\u2019s eyes at this moment?\u201d Consider for yourself if these people are really better than you are. \u201cAm I bad because I\u2019m not perfect?\u201d No, because perfection doesn\u2019t exist.   Judgment is a never-ending ladder - every rung leads to another rung of judgment. Joy is like a swimming pool. You can fall into it and feel that it\u2019s enjoyable.   Re-focusing Your Internal Compass from Judgement to Joy   Joy is possible. To achieve joy, you have to sit down and decide where you allow your psyche to judge yourself. When you look at it right in the eye, it takes power away from where the judgment is coming from. However, you must sit with it and acknowledge that you gave someone your power when you took their judgment upon yourself. That makes you feel less of yourself.   The feeling of \u201cless than\u201d can be placed on auto-pilot. Once you go out into the world, this sense of not feeling adequate can dig deeper and deeper until it becomes a daily practice or automatic to the point of not realizing that you are behaving in this fashion. Acknowledging the pattern is a great first step to releasing yourself from its grip.    Links and Resources  Book a session with Scott Clover today Listen in to Intuitive Energy Podcast  Connect with Scott on LinkedIn Read about Scott\u2019s work in the Wall Street Journal   Journey with Scott Clover on Social Media YouTube   Facebook   Instagram   Pinterest   On the Web   Spread the word of intuitive healing and share this episode with a friend! ***Disclaimer:This Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and solely as a self-help tool for your own use.
