In this monologue, the speaker reflects on how judgment has become a pervasive part of their life, noting that it conflicts with their desire to act in alignment with their highest self. They explain that judgment originated as a protective mechanism—a part of them that judges others preemptively to shield themselves from being judged. The speaker observes that further judging this judgment is unhelpful, and instead advocates for recognizing the pattern, sitting with it, and approaching it with compassion. By adopting a compassionate observer stance, they aim to understand and soften the protective part, allowing actions to be guided by values rather than defensive judgment.

You know, when I realized that judgment is a big part of my life right now, I mean, it hurts because it's not, it doesn't feel like it's in alignment with my highest self, right? Like there's the things and the values that I want to embody. Judgment isn't one of them, but judging that judgment doesn't serve me, right? I have to be able to just sit with and recognize it for what it is. It was born out of a place of protection, right? That's right. You know, we talk about parts work. There was a part of me that developed that pattern of behavior to protect itself, Right. If, if, if I judged you prematurely and I could elevate myself, then it protected me from when you judged me, right? Because I'm already put myself up here, right? So I don't fall down as far. And I can see that for what it is and just having compassion for it, bringing back to that compassionate observer, just, yeah, looking at your actions.
