No doubt it’s me but reading the material on the law of compensation was less than a stellar experience. It’s old writing, it wanders and I think (gasp) I’m giving my opinion! Yikes! We just learned this so there you have it. First I am doing what we’re asked not to do, but (hooray!) I caught myself in the middle of it.
There is a dance, I am observing about myself, between an opinion and a judgment so as Davene suggests, let’s look it up!
o·pin·ion/əˈpinyən/Learn to pronouncenoun
- a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
judg·ment/ˈjəjmənt/Learn to pronouncenoun
- 1.the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.
Okay – I somehow have it in my mind when I’m judging myself, someone, or something else, I’m noting less-than-stellar things about them. Being judgy… and the definition (at least this one) says the ability to make considered decisions – judging something (or someone) on merit?
Either way, my goal is to simply be in the moment – smile or nod without jumping in with my thoughts or opinion and read that compensation essay another two times, and hold out that I will like it better as we go.

Good for you Shawna, real observation of oneself is the key to unlock those aspects of opinion and judgement and feel beyond where we are caught up in them 😀

Just the fact that you are catching yourself so quickly shows how much progress you have made in such a short time. Keep on going and thank you for the dedication to discovering the best version of you!
