In this episode we dive into the transformative power of shadow work. Identifying and befriending your shadow aspects to help you overcome self-sabotage (overeating, scrolling, self-avoidance etc.), shift your energy, and align with your true self for deep, unshakable confidence and success.
Understanding the Shadow Self:
- The shadow represents the self-rejected parts of us and the sie of you trying to keep you safe. It's driven by fear and often manifests as perfectionism, self-criticism, or self-sabotaging habits.
Why Willpower for Transformation Isn’t Enough:
- You can’t overcome self-sabotage through force or willpower alone.
- The shadow will control you with criticism until it’s acknowledged and understood.
Steps to Work with Your Shadow:
- Identify and Name Your Shadow: Giving her a name creates distance between her and your true self.
- Recognize Her Patterns and Triggers: Notice when she’s in control—critical thoughts, fear of failure, or avoidance behaviors.
- Understand Her Role: Explore how your shadow has tried to protect you in the past and what fears she’s shielding you from.
- Separate Her Energy from Yours: Learn to distinguish your natural vibration from the shadow’s lower, tense energy.
Healing and Integration:
- The shadow won’t disappear, but you can lovingly reclaim your power with awareness, clear and shift your energy.
Transforming Your Relationship with Yourself:
- Question the critical thoughts—are they true, or is it your shadow speaking?
- Shift from self-sabotage to self-love by addressing the deeper fears behind your behaviors.
