“I should take better care of myself,” I told my friend, Alicia.
This happened after a gaming night in which I ate too many delicious and sugary foods.
(What’s a gaming night for, anyway?)
I was disappointed in myself.

Do you relate to this?

I have two insights for you.

1. If you’re disappointed, you’re judging yourself.

Is it really possible to take one parent to a doctor’s appointment, one’s spouse to work, get the grocery shopping done, edit a video for a YouTube channel, and … so on and so forth … in one afternoon?

Are you judging yourself on a standard that is not kind and not even possible?

Instead, imagine you’re thinking about your best friend. Would you cut that person some slack? You’re likely not judging them in such a harsh way.

As a witch, are you disappointed with yourself for not meditating, not doing the right rituals, or meeting with members of your coven?

2. Ask the Goddess to help you release yourself from harsh judgments.

You can use a prayer like this.

Goddess,
Help me release my judgments of myself.
Raise me up from the disappointment in myself.
Show me my Divine Self.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
