Physically put your hand on your heart every time you judge yourself and console yourself as you’d do with a friend.

This is the exercise of the week from Emily Greener, CEO & Founder of I AM THAT GIRL, and this week’s guest on The One & Only Podcast. It’s an opportunity to both monitor how often and to what extent you are judging yourself, and a chance to offer yourself forgiveness and re-work your inner dialogue (if necessary and/or desired).

Give it a try and let us know how it goes in the comments section.

And if you want to take on this challenge to the next level, take notice of when you find yourself judging others, as well.  When asking yourself “why,” you will probably find something valuable to address and work on within yourself.
