For me judgement has always been a bad thing.
I am starting to realize though that as I RESPECT my own feelings, thoughts and well-being that judgement is an extension of boundaries for me.
How do I feel about what just happened? How do I feel about what was just said, done, commented on? Is it safe for me to be around?
Judgment for me in the past has been my head and heart often screaming at me that something about a person, situation etc was not safe. Now I am more willing to acknowledge reality, call a spade a spade and name how it impacts me. I don't have as much judgement because I am willing to listen to the still small voice within that says this is NOT OKAY for me. That to me is not judgement it is finally self-care.
