Yeah, I've been in all sorts of extremes flinching from one to the other it can get hectic. I like the middle ground. I like balance and space to choose. There's a time for the wrong to be right and vice versa.
Not-doing saves energy for sure not so much though if what you're doing instead is more energy consuming. We're always doing something...
Avoiding drama and entanglements is easy enough as long as you're detached it wouldn't matter if you judge or not, all you need is space. One can even go to the extreme to be emotionally numb no matter the circumstances or people, however, that goes a little against what we're doing doesn't it...
About figuring out that it was a muscle that's cool and that's what I meant about doing it consciously instead of letting it do its own thing. As long as you're aware of what you're doing and are ready to accept responsibility for your actions you can weigh out the pros and cons in advance... So with awareness you've seen that both ways are options and both ways have their uses. That's what I meant. Even the deepest darkest part of you is you. And it can go even deeper...
In most cases the part of ourselves we tend to avoid, hide, and run from is the one we so badly need to embrace... One can't hide from oneself.
All this goes way beyond judgements. Any and every action you do with your mind and/or body is yet another "muscle".
Does breath happen to you or do you breathe? Now take this question and apply to all of your doings.
"This is a rock only because of your doing."...
Don't forget even though you may stop judging that doesn't mean some of your judgements haven't stuck around... (If that applies.) Explore active judgements how to set them and how to remove them and how to override undesired judgements from becoming active before they happen (cutting the "*** me" motion tic before it happens). It's fun, almost as much as I am. The mind becomes quicker, stronger, and more agile the more it's used. And it goes lazy and stuck in a routine if not exercised. "Then they called me stupid. Cry..."
I almost feel sorry for the people that curse the inner dialogue the way they do.
