Drop Self Judgement

When You Feel Off: Don’t Pile On. Tune In.

We all have those days when we just… feel off.

Maybe it’s a low-grade irritation you can’t shake.
Maybe it’s that heavy, behind-the-eyes fatigue.
Maybe it’s the knot in your stomach that shows up before you even open your laptop.

And yet — instead of simply noticing that feeling, we often start judging ourselves for even having it.

“Why am I like this?”
“I should be over it by now.”
“Other people have it worse.”

That extra layer of self-judgment?
It’s not helping.
In fact, it’s quietly draining your energy.

Energy you could be using for:

• The task right in front of you.

• Creative thinking and problem solving.

• Actually being present with the people in your life.

A Better Way Forward

Instead of piling on, try tuning in.

Your feelings aren’t flaws. They’re signals.
Signals that can point you toward what you need right now — whether that’s rest, clarity, support, or simply a moment to breathe.

Here’s a simple practice to try:
Notice. “I’m feeling anxious right now.”
Name. “This is overwhelm talking.”
Normalize. “It’s okay to feel this way. I can still take one small step forward.”

Two Quotes to Keep in Mind

"Don't believe everything you think."
— Byron Katie

"You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens."
— Louise Hay

When you give yourself permission to feel without judgment, you not only free up mental space — you also unlock the energy, creativity, and presence you need to move forward.
