TRY THIS: Counting Self-JudgmentsMark out 15 minutes in the course of an ordinary day for this exercise. Choose a time when your mind might wander, maybe while you're driving a car or eating a meal alone. Say to yourself, "Over the next 15 minutes, I'll check every minute or so to see if I'm having a self-critical thought." If you have an electronic device that beeps, you can program it to ring every minute. Don't worry about remembering the content of your thoughts. Make a mental tally, perhaps counting on your fingers, of how many times you criticize yourself.
