Recognizng my own shaddow and how you can do the same
The Shadow is not a villain, he doesn't exist to make you suffer. She hurts because she needs to be seen, she suffers because she isn't accepted and integrated. Above all, the Shadow is not something from the "outside", it is a part of us, the part of us that hasn't released it yet, hasn't moved on, hasn't learned to deal with it, hasn't grown.
To identify your Shadow, you need to observe:
Where does it hurt? Because it hurts? When did it first hurt like this? Why do I care and am I reacting this way?...
From the understanding and acceptance of the Shadow, there is a great space to work and release it. The real work of self-knowledge and personal evolution is done in the Shadow and not in the Light.
I hope it made your day a little better.

Yes, this is so important! I did a shadow exercise where I recalled a memory from kindergarten...distorted, I'm sure, where I said something that upset my friend, and then my teacher said that I "always upset people." Again, I think it was distorted; I don't think she actually would have said that. But it got implanted in my mind, and for years I would go out of my way to please people and I'd replay conversations in my head, making sure I hadn't accidentally said anything that would upset the other person. Once I was aware of my shadow of being "mean" and "bad," I've been able to better integrate it instead of fighting it by being a people pleaser.
I can review myself in that. I've been victim of bullying when I was a child. I started to be a people pleaser and not following what I want, I just tried to get by as less seen as possible.
Now I'm self aware of that and I can adjust it.
