Jay, I started to journal some shadow work with the goddess archetype, I received from a quiz named Hectate, She’s the triple moon goddess that I had a dream about and didn’t really know about. So the prints asked me to circle what I could relate to about a cognitive distortion and told me it’s not a personality flaw. I related so far to not making decisions for school due to an underlying fear dealing with feeling inadequate. It said to write a reason to make the decision and its’ that I have help and a time limit from vocational rehab and I’m excited by the subject of healing and helping people. The second shadow was that I agreed mostly with statements about keeping people close but not being open, honest or vulnerable with those I love I decided that I’d rather write a letter or poem to you to open up about the idea that maybe you and I can work on building more intimacy in our relationship so I don’t’ close off and get quiet with you for long periods of time. I’d really like for us to build this long term.
I wrote out some reactions to journal prompts for my shadow work. I’m excited to go to NA with you, I showered. It said to share one opinion per week with someone I love. I read in the book the Inner Work that consciousness works like programming a radio station, this was an analogy I’d never thought of. To change to positive outcomes you have to consciously switch stations. I’ve been practicing on my own since last night. Filtering out thoughts that aren’t how I actually feel and responding to them with something more honest or positive. I thought maybe sharing this could help you too. The book says to work together on the examples. I love you!
