If you are emotionally charged by someone else’s behavior, your shadow is activated. If you find yourself in this situation. This is a good time to pause, take a deep breath and to go inward. There is some type of projection or reflection going on. Ask yourself if you could be guilty of this same thing you are upset about. You will have to have a very open mind in order to do this and be willing to face some hard truths.

Our egos don’t like to admit this stuff because we do in fact judge it and there is shame around it. Our egos want to keep us safe and having a behavior that we (and our collective unconscious) deem as “bad” is not who we think we are. And it certainly isn’t who we want to be. We only want to be defined by the “good” things in life. Otherwise we may not be loved and accepted.

Once you are able to identify your behavior and how you are guilty of this thing you judge, you need to be soft and kind to yourself. You will want to validate yourself on shame or guilt that comes up. Mostly, you are going to have to see that this doesn’t actually make you a bad person. It makes you able to see your humanness. Accept that you are not perfect. Accept the behavior and forgive yourself. You deserve love 🖤 all parts of you deserve to be seen and loved.
