The Opposite Of Self Criticism: Notice Without Judgment
Mon Feb 02 2026
For nearly six months my girlfriend was pushing down the thought that she can’t stand her hubs – especially because he was sick. What kind of woman is contemplating divorce after her husband is diagnosed with a chronic condition. She couldn’t let herself think like that!
Or could she? She decided to experiment. What might it be like to notice the thoughts floating in the river of her mind without condemning herself? Could she simply become aware of them? Could she pay attention to her thoughts and the feelings that accompany them?
Could she notice the urge to eat, drink, or otherwise numb herself while noticing?
The answer is YES!!!!! She did it…
With her permission, here is the story… And the outcome.
Just WOW!
