How does our shadow form? What causes us to become fractured? There are so many reasons that causes us to become fractured. Back to childhood, sadly for some of us, well the majority of us have been not in the best home environments. Not to mention school. Kids can be very mean to each other. Bulling is something that I have endured and both of my children sadly.
When we are growing up some of us hide pieces of ourselves away. Why do we do this? Because, we are told things like “that’s stupid”, “you can’t do that”, “your ugly”, “you shouldn’t act that way”, and “you can’t win”. I find that we care to much about what other think. But we are thought this throughout our lives. This is how we become fractured. It builds over time aiding the growth of our shadow.
Everyone has a shadow. Some of us can connect with all aspects of ourselves. Then there are those who can not. Accepting everything that is within you is not an easy task. It is an on going journey of becoming ones true self. Personally my shadow work has opened me up allowing profound changes within. I see thing differently and I found my worth! I am not afraid to express my authentic self to the word!
Remember at the end of the day, your thoughts and opinions about yourself is what matters. Until next time! C.
