How is my judgment level today? Am I nursing grumbly thoughts about a coworker or my boss? Have I grown to resent a project because I’m not being honest with others about some aspect of it? In other words, am I distancing myself from other people today?

I’ve heard it said in recovery: “I can measure my distance from God by measuring my distance from you.” I can easily set myself apart from the people around me by judging them, comparing myself to them, and failing to share my real feelings about something, which I often neglect to see as the dishonesty it really is. When I practice these behaviors, I set myself at apart from God too.

Today I will ask for help in separating myself from judgmental and resentful thoughts. I will look for ways to build bridges between myself and others today.
