When I'm looking at myself or I'm looking at somebody else, I can say: we are doing the best we can at the moment and the best we can do is to make progress.
What does 'judgement' mean to you? In this episode of The Recovery Show, Spencer and Anthony dive deep into the nuanced world of judgement. They kick off the conversation by distinguishing between having good judgement and being judgemental, exploring how judgement can be both a strength and a weakness. Ever felt like you're constantly measuring yourself against others?
The duo discusses the concept of a 'judgement ladder', where we often place ourselves above or below others, impacting our self-esteem and relationships. Spencer and Anthony share personal stories about how they judge themselves and others, shedding light on how these habits shape their lives. They explore the positive and negative sides of judgement, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and learning to switch off those automatic mental reactions.
One of the standout points in this episode is the transformative power of Al-Anon meetings. Both hosts recount how the program has helped them become less judgemental, more forgiving, and more grateful. The conversation also touches on the challenges of making amends and the evolving nature of our needs. Spencer and Anthony highlight the significance of being open to change and practicing gratitude in recovery.
They wrap up with a heartfelt message about forgiveness and love, reminding listeners that everyone is doing their best at any given moment. Progress, not perfection, is key. Looking for someone who truly gets what you're going through? The hosts encourage finding a supportive person within the program and practicing self-forgiveness. Tune in to this episode for an enlightening discussion that offers practical advice and emotional support for anyone navigating the complexities of judgement in their recovery journey.
