Is there something wrong with how I practice non-judgement?
I usually practice it by removing the certain label of good or bad in my mind. Though, much of the advice I've seen on the Internet tells me to take one step further than that. I have to observe the phenomena in the most neutral way as possible. So coming from, "Being anxious is not bad. Being ...
