How To Accept Your Shadows

A SHADOW is a part, quality, preference, or desire that you deem to be unsafe for others to witness IN you. 

We worry that if someone saw the “real” us, we’d be rejected, judged, criticized, humiliated, or shamed. 

Our SHADOWS hold incredible gifts if we are willing to:

• ALLOW
• ACCEPT
• EMBRACE

all of these shadow parts and qualities. 

When we ACCEPT our shadows, we give consent to receive the GIFT inherent in the shadow. 

We also ACCEPT our shadows when we recognize that it’s true sometimes that we do embody that quality or desire. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• Which parts of yourself are you not willing to receive?
• Which qualities do you resist being true for you?
• What gifts might you receive if you’re willing to accept your shadows?

 

Stay tuned… I’m creating an intoxicating experience and course which will be coming your way later this fall. Prepared to be instigated, disrupted, and intoxicated with purpose, passion, and possibility.

When it comes to podcasting, the best way to “tip the bartender” is by heading over to Apple Podcasts and leaving a 5-star review. This helps me imbibe other listeners with the secret sauce of emotional intelligence. And, make sure to “order another round”  by hitting SUBSCRIBE. 

 

If you’re thirsty for more than this daily shot and ready to intoxicate the hell out of your personal and professional life, I’d love to invite you to coach one-on-one with me.
