Mirror judgments have come up on the podcast before, but I’m diving deeper in today’s episode. A mirror judgment is a judgment that you have about another person that you also have of yourself.

Committing to the finish makes a massive difference in how you approach your goals and pursue the life you want to live.

When you’re making a decision, you’re confronted with the options available to you. You make a choice, and as time unfolds, you see the consequences of your decisions. However, what I often see people doing is picking apart their decisions before they make them, looking for all the potential issues that could arise from their choice. In doing this, they create an alternate reality where the option that they didn’t choose would have led to better outcomes. This is the Sliding Doors Fallacy at work. This week, you’ll learn how to stop punishing yourself by wondering how different things in your life could look.
