Reducing judgment = Increasing self control

We have all heard the phrase "We are our own worse enemy" and what this means is we can have a tendency to be the most self-critical, non-accepting, judgmental person we know.  In therapy with A Purposeful Path, we strive to assist people in having compassion toward oneself AND we know that it is hard to do!  The following website has a step-by-step exercise that may help:

To sum this exercise up, it is attempting to assist individuals' with increasing self-control, or basically, will power.  If one's will power can increase, then making healthier decisions can improve, and one can be less critical, less judgmental, and more accepting.  So, maybe, give it a try :)
