There are three counterintuitive reasons why your so-called “dark side” holds the key to manifesting your desires.
Psychologist Carl Jung conceptualized our disowned parts, our dark side and repressed desires as the shadow.
The shadow self or subconscious does not know whether its sabotaging us or not, of course.
Many of us carry around not enough myths.
You have to go into the dark underworld of thoughts you dont want to own.
Understand what these repressed parts are trying to tell you.
Are they trying to protect you from something?
Listen to their reasoning.
In doing so, it tries to defend you ferociously.
If youre still doubting your worthiness to manifest your desires, use what I call reverse comparison.
Consider that youve seen peoplefar lessloving than you enjoy the relationship of their lives.
Did they do anything to earn their right to an ideal relationship?
They simply believed they deserved it.
Here is a radical, counterintuitive thought: You are already deserving, just as you are.
It is your birthright to have the life of your dreams.
You were not put on this earth to play small.
Affirmation: I am enough.
I am worthy of everything and anything I desire.
I deserve all good things in my life.
I embrace all good things coming to me right now.
I allow all miracles to enter my life.
This depletes your internal resources.
Finding the sweet spot between gratitude and a healthy sense of emotional validation is necessary.
Its okay to not be okay.
Emotions should never be ignored or swept under the rug.
They should be validated, heard, honored.
You should be able to seek support to heal anything that needs to be healed.
They are not mutually exclusive.
This allows you to remain open to more abundance, without sacrificing your sanity or authentic emotions.
If you find yourself going in a downward spiral, stop for a moment.Breathe.Look around.
What is good about your life?
What has happenedfor youso far that is evidence that you do have support in your life?
Create a gratitude jar or write in a gratitude journal for when youre struggling to ground yourself.
Find ways to celebrate all the incredible things in your life, both big and small.
Invite more of those things in, and watch them multiply without sacrificing your authentic emotions.
But it’s crucial that you be able to also own all of your emotions too.
Emotions are powerful manifestation and healing tools they just have to be channeled wisely.
Affirmation:I am so wealthy in every facet of my life.
I deserve abundance in everything and anything.
I am already abundant.
I allow more abundance to flow into my life.
I validate all of my emotions.
I honor when I am angry, hurt, confused.
Sometimes, life is deeply unfair.
I never deserved the pain inflicted on me.
I rise higher than my oppressors and bullies.
We are told we need to be happy all of the time to generate more happiness.
In reality, compartmentalizing your darkness and trauma only severs your connection to immense manifestation, self-validation and healing.
Fully integrated human beings actually generate more success because theyre not afraid to face their demons.
Nothing is wrong with this belief it is actuallyperfectly valid.
Dont dismiss dark emotions just because society has convinced you they are not proper.
You just have to acknowledge it is a valid part of you and use it to your advantage.
How can so-called darker emotions like anger fuel and motivate you?
How can it inspire you to see you do deserve better?
By not stifling or ignoring your true emotions, now youve just used them to serve you.
Give yourself permission to be bad sometimes (so long as it doesnt harm anyone else).
If youre an empathic individual, what you perceive to be bad is actually probably not at all.
Say no to the things you want to say no to.
Your so-called dark side holds as much of a key to your dreams as does your ideal self.
Affirmation:All parts of me are valid and I approve of myself fully.
I own both my light and my dark.
My empathy can heal others just as much as my outrage can fuel a revolution.
I know I am imperfect and those flaws and scars are some of the most beautiful parts of me.
I am beautiful in my imperfection.
I am wild in my truth.
