G, such a great topic. We can't help but be affected by what people think. It can cripple us can't it?

You're right: "The only power their opinions and judgments have is the power you give it."

Reframing our thoughts and understanding it's not about us most of the time, it's about them - these are awesome ways to deal with judgment. When we do that it's also then possible to do the hard thing: rise above the judgment with compassion and learn from it.

Cheers for sharing your insights mate! xo
