Letting go of yourself

Letting go of yourself

Thoughts of people:

„I’ve always thought I could just be myself and not need to judge myself, but obviously, there’s still unconsciousness, so I still have some sense of self-worth (not a very strong one). I would like to let that go.“

We can simply be. To enjoy the moment here and now – just doing nothing. Not judging anything or anyone and seeing the present moment in its entirety. On the other hand, we can set goals, assess ourselves and others, and evaluate our self-worth. Thousands of thoughts swarm in our minds every day. We act consciously and unconsciously. Learned patterns shape our behavior and can be burdensome when we don’t have an open view of them. Whether we judge ourselves or others, whether we condemn them, is rooted in our mind. Our mind evaluates when we see someone with piercings or tattoos – we either judge or admire them. Our mind criticizes and judges when we don’t consider a situation „normal“ or wish things to be different from what they actually are. Freedom lies in a free mind. It’s not about becoming someone, but about being no one.

Personal Experience

I used to evaluate everything and everyone. Comparisons were necessary for me to either elevate myself or put myself down. I thought I would only improve and increase my self-worth by doing this. However, I hadn’t understood the principle of my mind until then. As humans, we evaluate every situation and every person. But if we’re not aware of the moment and our thoughts, we judge unconsciously. We believe others are better, or we ourselves are perfection. Our pride takes over, and we don’t see the bigger picture. Our little world is all that matters to us. When something doesn’t work as we imagined, we judge and measure. Isn’t that how it is?

Approach

The human mind evaluates because it’s a fundamental mechanism to understand the world and make quick decisions. What can you do to put your self-worth aside? What can you do to stop judging and simply be no one? Recognize and become aware. Once you observe your thoughts like a third eye from the outside, without judging, you will recognize. You don’t need to evaluate yourself or anyone else. Your world lies in the eye of your perception. You can choose to evaluate or not. Your thoughts shape your world – Here and now. Openness – a clear mind – is the key to a peaceful life.

Use the following questions to get to know yourself better:

  • How does it feel to either put myself down or elevate myself?
  • And why do I need this feeling?When I observe my thoughts, what happens in my mind?
  • Can I notice my assessments and mental analyses at any moment – when I walk through the city, observe people, or observe myself?
  • Why do I compare myself and not accept how everything is in its entirety – how my life is right now?
  • Why do I need to assign myself self-worth?
  • Why do I evaluate others and measure myself against them?
  • If I am no one – what freedom does this thought give me?
