Day 7 – Releasing Judgment
Judgment drains your energy. Let it go. Meet yourself with compassion today.

For high achievers, the inner critic can be loud—and relentless. Maybe you’ve heard it say:

“You should be able to push through this.” (Controller)

“If you were more disciplined, you'd have figured this out by now.” (Achiever)

“Don’t take up space—just keep everyone happy.” (Pleaser)

“Something bad is probably around the corner—better stay on edge.” (Hypervigilant)

“You’re failing. Again.” (Judge)

But here’s the truth: that voice is not you. It’s a survival pattern.
And when you replace it with compassion, your nervous system shifts from defense to healing.

Self-criticism spikes cortisol and disrupts your hormone rhythm.
Self-compassion creates safety, lowers inflammation, and improves metabolic flexibility—essential for real, sustainable health.
