Making Decisions While Honoring your Shadow

In meditation today, my guides told me how important it is for us to honor our shadows when making life decisions.

If a human represented a pie, half of the pie would be our light self, and the other half would be our shadow self.

Our shadow self is the parts of us that we feel ashamed of. For instance, in my shadow lives my OCD and my anxiety. It is what I like to hide from the world, and when making decisions, I never acknowledge it because of my shame—wanting to be “normal” like “everyone else.”

The truth is, that is a part of me, and when I deny my shadow self in making decisions, it brings me to places that are not the best fit for me. That is because I am neglecting a whole other half of who I am.

Recently I have been working towards listening to my shadow's needs when making life decisions. I am bringing my whole self to the table.

To stay on our unique path, we need to bring our whole selves into the picture. Only then will we find peace and completeness. 🌾
