As usual, I am noticing trends from week to week. If I find myself saying something to multiple people, then I figure it's something that many could benefit from right now. We're still in that seed time between 2-2-22 and 2-22-22, so there's often a lot of inner, "behind-the-scenes" work going on for people on a personal level.

As usual, I am noticing trends from week to week. If I find myself saying something to multiple people, then I figure it's something that many could benefit from right now.

We're still in that seed time between 2-2-22 and 2-22-22, so there's often a lot of inner, "behind-the-scenes" work going on for people on a personal level.

You may find yourself facing aspects of yourself that you don't like. This is normal and part of the human experience.

The point is to be able to expand your perspective, reclaim the energy of those aspects, and allow them to transform into something more useful for you in this moment.

I've used an idea loosely inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is a kind of therapy that helps you get to know different parts of yourself and see how each has a role.

To clarify, what I'm explaining today is not IFS, but if you're interested in that, then I'd encourage you to find a counselor trained in it.

Need some brainstorming ways to understand various aspects of yourself? Leave a note in the YouTube comments, and I'll see what we can come up with together. Again, this is NOT medical advice OR therapy, but a general discussion about understanding the self. Because getting to know yourself gives you access to deeper healing.
