FOMO

I love how my mind is trying to distract me from writing this post. I guess something in there has fear of being exposed, fear of liberation, it wants to maintain the thrill of seeking. Regardless of how sinister this 'shadow' may be, I am learning to more compassionate towards it. Anyone who has done shadow work knows that the shadow gets stronger when you feel hate towards it.

Could it be possible that nothing is missing?

Could it be possible that I am exactly where I am supposed to be?

What happens when you try to struggle your way out of quicksand? You sink faster. Apparently you are supposed to calm down and make yourself float.

Let's float. Every attempt at escaping your shadow makes you sink even faster. It's the paradox, yet again.

The question now is: how to float?

1) Stop panicking

2) Take a deep breath

3) Watch yourself float

Get good at this skill, it's gonna come in handy.
