There’s a reason why everyone isn’t out here doing shadow work. Why people avoid it. It’s easier said than done and truly not for people who give up. The instructions are simple- but the process is grueling. This is why initiation into spiritual communities are shrouded in

mystery- since the beginning of time. Going through hell to find heaven on earth is magic within itself. This is why people who evolve through shadow work are perceived as magical and strong. Not because they have special abilities but because they didn’t give up through things

that would have made anyone else completely lose their mind. And I don’t say that lightly. I know personally, I had moments where I really thought I had completely lost my mind, I was worried for my own mental wellbeing. But I never let up! I didn’t let those thoughts over take

me. I knew that I had no choice but to be stronger than whatever it was that was trying to consume my mind. It wasn’t over night. It’s been years and months of constant work on myself. But the fact of the matter was- I was ready to take back control of my life! It’s been the fuel

of my whole journey. I wasn’t willing to be under anyone else’s thumb anymore. My depression & anxiety still exist. It lingers in the background, but all of the hard work I’ve done to get to where I am prevails (for the most part.) to be honest- whenever

I start developing the thoughts of inadequacy, fear, the feeling that something is going to go wrong- I don’t fight it. I talk to it. I ask it where it’s coming from and what it’s purpose is. Somedays I go into a rabbit hole of emotions that feel like I can’t get out. And other

days I reveal something about me that needs more work. I forgive myself and remember tomorrow is another day. Forgiving myself isn’t easy! Remembering tomorrow is another day isn’t easy! But I push through- because giving up is something that I refuse to do ! I’ve given up

before and it only left me with more guilt, more self-doubt. So I had to do the opposite. Which meant holding myself accountable for things I originally didn’t feel I should be held accountable for. Don’t give up. That’s all I’m asking. Please don’t give up. Prove everyone wrong!
