If you’re familiar with The Work of Byron Katie, you know that questioning your thoughts from any stressful situation can open your mind and set your heart free.
But sometimes it can be challenging to identify exactly which thoughts are bothering you. There may be lots of thoughts running through your head in a particular stressful situation. Or you may be so caught up in the emotional experience that you don’t notice what thoughts are there.
What is needed is a way to systematically identify your stressful thoughts in any situation so that you can question them.
The Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet is a powerful tool for identifying exactly which thoughts are active in any stressful moment. The worksheet consists of six questions to help you write down exactly what is bothering you.
But the power of the Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet increases many fold when you take it slowly and fill in the worksheet like a meditation. This is how I facilitate my clients to write a worksheet. And now I share it with you in the form of a checklist.
In this 12 page PDF booklet, you will find a convenient, easy to use checklist of all the things I keep in mind when filling out a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet.
I invite you, as my regular newsletter reader, to download a copy for free, and to use it when you’re writing your own Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheets.
I think you will find that the items on this checklist will slow you down, and will help you notice things you might not notice otherwise when you’re filling out a worksheet.
In exchange for my checklist, I ask for your feedback on my newsletter. Your feedback (both positive and negative) is how the newsletter keeps growing and improving. Please leave me any feedback you have, and download your copy of the checklist here.
Have a great week,
Todd
