Are You in the Dark?

Shadow work has become almost a household name—and for good reason. It’s something that is absolutely needed if you want to 10x your life. You know the old saying: your past determines your future. Some may not agree with this statement, but it’s true.

In order for you to 10x your life, you need a clear vision. And what will help you gain clarity better than shadow work? Over two decades ago, I was first acquainted with this concept. I had some knowledge of the subconscious, but I had no idea what lies beneath—not until I started doing the inner work was I confronted with my shadow.

Then and only then did I start to see significant changes in my life.

See, a lot of the time we believe that we’re over the things that had an impact on our life. This isn’t to make you feel bad—this is to shed some light on why you are probably feeling stuck or why you’re not able to get to the next level in your life.

Yeah, you’ve probably created a life you’re proud of, especially if you’re transitioning into a new season in your life. This is when you’ll start to notice unresolved issues resurfacing.

The Tool That Changed Everything for Me

Being Kind Won’t Cost You a Thing

Many people tend to think that kindness comes from receiving equal parts of good on both sides, only to be let down when they find out the kindness they’ve given was one-sided. This usually provokes them to say to themselves, “Well, I’m going to act like the person and rescind their kindness.” Unfortunately, many people feel this way, leaving people disheartened, discouraged, and lonely.

I remember a time when I had to go to the post office to mail off a package to a loved one. I’d never sent off a package that size before; I was a bit confused about where to place the label. When I brought it back to the window, not only did the postal lady speak to me in an unhealthy tone, she wouldn’t listen to any of the questions I was asking beforehand that might have helped me from making the error in the first place.

The Last Act: Choosing Kindness Over Reaction

What would you do if someone told you “No”? Would you react defensively, or would you move forward and exercise your faith? Most people would rather push their way through when it comes to the things they want or believe they should have, and in some cases this may be a good alternative—but not so much when dealing with people. As the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” (although I must say I’m not too proud of that statement, being a cat lover myself). The point I’m making is that kindness will get you much further than rudeness.

One day I was short on cash and had to be somewhere quickly, so I went to the store where I knew an ATM was provided for customers. I have to admit I don’t regularly go to an ATM—I prefer to go to the bank, not only because it’s safer but also because you don’t get hit with ATM fees. As I was fumbling with the machine, a woman behind me spoke in a, well, not-so-kind voice, asking me if I was using the machine. Clearly I was using it—everyone in the store looked up as her voice projected throughout the space.

Everything You Need Is Already Within You

What if I told you that everything you’ve ever wanted is already inside of you?

Many people operate under the false notion that they need to study for years on end to be successful. Don’t get me wrong—education is definitely a powerful tool to have. I believe in higher education. But what I’m discussing here is something much deeper: an inner knowing of what you can become, if only given the chance.

From the time you were born, you were programmed to become who you are right now. Think about it: your parents told you what to eat, how to speak. Then you went to school and they told you how to think. You really never had a choice or the time to find out who you truly are.

In a world that is always evolving, it’s pretty safe to say we as a society are confused.

So how do you reclaim your power when everything and everyone tells you otherwise? Continue reading “Everything You Need Is Already Within You”

Lighthouse: Following Your Path

Have you noticed that whenever you are presented with an opportunity to broaden yourself, there comes resistance? This is not a coincidence—this is your brain trying to protect you. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between good or bad when it comes to you achieving something new. All it knows is that this is a new experience you are attempting, which is unfamiliar to your brain. So how do you continue?

Taking Small Steps Forward

Studies show that when you take reinforced baby steps towards your goals despite those reluctant thoughts, you allow for the gradual ease of comfort. It’s not to say fear will totally subside; as time goes by, the push and pull will slowly move towards motivation.

My Personal Experience

This is something I’ve noticed whenever I started a new workout routine. At first, the feeling of being overwhelmed starts to manifest within my body. As I push through the new routine, something happens: I start to get not only comfortable, but a sort of excitement starts to happen. It’s not to say I’m doing the moves perfectly—my confidence starts to arise, enabling me to have a better workout experience. Something I don’t think would’ve happened if I gave into the fear.

Fear as a Guide, Not a Barrier

Remember, fear is part of you acknowledging that the path you’re on should be studied, yes—but not necessarily the road you shouldn’t take. So the next time you find yourself moving towards a new path, whether it be starting a new business or a new workout regime, step back, breathe, and remind yourself this new path is a good thing.

Move forward—you are the light the world needs.

Hugs,

Elizabeth
