After climbing to the tip of the limb with my last post I questioned why I would tell people something that seems so private. I firmly believe there is way too much private information in the public domain. And, I still feel it is important to be authentic. Hiding only adds unnecessary pressure. As I said to my coach “When all else fails, tell the truth!”
Besides a Shadow, I also have a Light. I am determined, focused, willing, committed, compassionate, thoughtful, generous and so much more. I am the shadow and light side of every behaviour. There is “good” and “bad” in being generous or focused. There is “good” and “bad” in being stubborn or stuck. There is power in knowing yourself and I am getting intimately acquainted with myself AGAIN. This has been my chosen path for many, many years. Some might suggest I need something to do. Trust me I am not idle, except when I am!
The bottom line is that when some area of your life is not working the way you want it to you have a choice. Turn inward and look for answers or outward and blame someone else. You get to decide which route fits you.
What I am compelled to say is “Set yourself free. Give yourself a break.”
Now, I need to journal. It’s part of my commitment to self-care. Be inspired.
