You’ve likely heard the advice: “Embrace your shadow self with love.”
And perhaps, like many, you’ve hesitated – believing the shadow self to be the dark, undesirable side of your personality.
Here’s a gentle reframe:
Hint: When it feels good, you’re on track to your goals. When it doesn’t, seek an alternative that does.
Reimagining Your Shadow
Picture yourself standing in the sunlight. You see your shadow. Is it a “bad thing”? Not at all!
Your shadow represents the parts of you that, until now, you’ve been unaware of or have forgotten.
If you’re reading this, it’s ready to be brought into the light – into your conscious mind.
Your shadow holds your gifts and talents, some (or many) of which are yet to be discovered.
Quick Transformative Actions
- When you feel peaceful, ask your GPS (God, the Universe, the Infinite Intelligence…) to bring your unique gifts and talents to your conscious mind.
- Listen to the song “Me and My Shadow” by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. It’s an oldie but a goodie. Singing along can be a delightful way to connect with your inner self.
Enjoy discovering, remembering and sharing your newly discovered gifts and talents!
