A judgment buffer

As you become more expressed and put yourself out there by contributing more, an inevitable part of that is being judged by folks, some who you know and love and some who don’t.

Your brain’s reward system does not like being judged because it used to threaten our survival if we didn’t fit in with the group, which is why we avoid it. Accepting that you don’t like being judged, and we will allow you to set yourself up for success and support.

As you grow, spending time around people who love you, support you, understand what you are up to, and share similar values becomes even more critical. The love and positive feelings you receive from that elevated connection are the feelings that give you the boost to go the distance.

Set yourself up by letting yourself be loved.
