At best, when we follow through on something from a place of self-judgement, we’re being compliant with our own expectations. We see that there’s no utility in self-criticism, which only makes us feel bad about ourselves over trivial mistakes. Even when we mess up in major ways, nothing positive can come from beating ourselves up.That’s where self-reflection comes into play. Where self-judgement leads us to shrink and withdraw, self-reflection helps us to learn and grow. One can be your worst enemy if you allow it, while the other is your best friend that can help you to flourish.
