The Judge-Your-Neighbor (JYN) Worksheet
The purpose of the JYN worksheet, is to help you surface and identify your stressful thoughts in ONE situation (think of it like a photograph of a specific moment in time).
When you do The Work on a single belief, you will likely experience relief as you discover what's really true for you. However, your ego may attempt to pull you back into the story/belief from a different angle. Katie refers to this as "the underworld" (or supporting beliefs) overriding your new awareness.
The JYN worksheet takes care of this! It helps you identify the main problem/belief you were experiencing in a specific situation. And it helps you surface the underlying beliefs that hold it up.
And, the real power of The Work is that even though you're isolating a single situation to practice self-inquiry, you're actually clearing the "lens" of your perception. This affects the perception of your whole world, and positively impacts all of your relationships - not just the person you're doing The Work on.
