In the quiet moments of reflection, we often find ourselves caught in the whirlwind of self-judgment. It’s a common human experience, a silent conversation we have with ourselves about our worth, actions, and decisions. But there’s a profound realization that can liberate us from this cycle: the understanding that life is a divine gift, and judgment is not ours to pass, but God’s.
The Divine Perspective
We are all travelers on a journey of life, a journey bestowed upon us by a higher power. Many believe that it is God who has given us this path to walk, and it is God who will guide us through it. It’s said that when our time comes, we will meet our Creator, and only then will we understand the full extent of our deeds. This belief offers a comforting perspective: if we trust in divine judgment, we need not burden ourselves with the weight of self-critique.
The Brain Hack
There is a simple yet powerful technique to halt the avalanche of self-judgment—a brain hack. It involves anchoring ourselves to a phrase that reminds us of the divine presence and the eventual meeting with God in the afterlife. This phrase acts as a mental reset button, helping us to organize our thoughts and prevent the downward spiral into anxiety and shame.
“Until the Age of 120”
In Hebrew culture, there’s a beautiful tradition of wishing someone “Until the age of 120” on their birthday. It’s a blessing, a hope for longevity and a life well-lived. For me, this was my phrase is a reminder that I'll meet God the day I'll pass, without succumbing to the snowball effect of self-judgment. It’s a prompt to pause, reflect on the phrase, and move forward with grace.
Remember God Phrase
I encourage you, the reader, to find a phrase that holds the explanation of when you will meet God. It could be a scripture, a line from a poem, or a saying like mines. Let this phrase be your shield against self-judgment. Whenever you find yourself on the brink of self-critique, say your phrase, and let it guide you back to a place of peace and perspective.
Conclusion
Remember, judging oneself is not our role to play. It’s an act of disrespect to be judgmental. "Doing Gods work". In conclusion, by using our chosen phrase, we remind ourselves of the truth, allowing us to live with a sense of freedom and respect for the divine order. So, find your phrase, use it well, and continue on your day with a heart unburdened by judgment.
