Are You Self-Sabotaging? [03:33]
We all have blind spots. And these blind spots can show up in several ways including self-sabotage. And these come as a result of not being aligned with our highest and best self.
When we talk about our personalities and how we’re showing up in the world, the shadow is a part of us that we want to hide. There’s a part of us that maybe we feel bad about.
How Do You Spot the Shadows? [08:38]
Just look around you. Notice the people or traits that trigger strong reactions in you. Maybe it’s the overly confident colleague or the friend who always seems to have it all together. These reactions are like little red flags pointing you toward your own shadows.
There’s a part of us that we’re denying where we’re going. I better not be like that.
Acknowledge the Cart Before the Horse [19:29]
Before diving into the world of online dating or seeking a partner, take some time to unpack your own baggage. This doesn’t mean waiting until you’re perfect or fully healed, but rather acknowledging and understanding yourself better.
When we are unpacking and coming home to the truth of who we are, not by what our beliefs are, not by what we have been taught, we can see things differently.
