Shadow Work Sunday is here, so let’s dive in and dig a little deeper with ourselves today.
TikToker Jared Ray posted a video asking a thought-provoking question that should help you grow and evolve within yourself.
In Jared‘s viral video, he asked his viewers, “If you could remove one thing about your personality right now, what would you remove?”
He went on to say that if you could simply select and delete one detail about your personality that you despise the most, what exactly would that be?
Embracing the problem to create the solution
Jared went on to say that the solution to whatever your problem might be is to completely accept and LOVE the problem.
He knows that although the concept sounds completely abstract, it works.
That’s because when you reject something, it creates an equally opposite force that causes intense polarization.
The intense level of tension that gets created causes what you’re trying to reject to overcome and possess you!
To practice shadow work properly, you should accept and love the biggest flaw about yourself by embracing it and working through it instead of trying to ignore it, shut it out, or squish it into oblivion.
There’s no way to get around it. You have to work through it!
He also suggest leaning into it as something that CAN be solved and not necessarily just addressing it as a problem.
In his comment section, people responded with things like social anxiety, procrastination, insecurity, irritability, fear of other people’s judgments, imposter syndrome, fear of abandonment, fear of being seen, fear of rejection, self-doubt, action, paralysis, overthinking, envy, depression, resentment towards other peoples wins, impatience, fear of confrontation, indecisiveness, and so much more.
