Emotional Brilliance - Talking to Ourselves
 Are the ways in which
other people act emotionally disturbing to you? Are you sometimes of
the opinion that other people don’t seem to care
enough? Do you question the insensitive ways
of other people? We are all subject to deeply felt
emotional responses that seem to originate because of
external stimuli. This can be especially true when
interacting in our long-term relationships.
But
did you know that when external stimuli bring about
deep emotional responses in us, you are most likely
being shown the hidden aspects of yourself? So when ‘this' or ‘that’ frustrates you, when
‘they’ rub you the wrong way, or when ‘it’
seems to settle over you, you are being shown a window
into yourself. You are being shown your own shadow.
Remember the old
adage: ‘It takes one to know one’? It speaks of
shadow. If you’ve always wondered what to do with
that knowledge, and how to use it to heal your shadow,
you need only to acknowledge and then take ownership
of these previously hidden aspects of yourself. Making
the unconscious conscious is simply a matter of talking
to yourself. In this way you can fully resolve
your shadow and become emotionally brilliant.
But, before
we get to the cure, let’s look at a few other ways
to tell if you have a shadow.
1)
Do
you sometimes despise certain
situations or people?
2)
Is
there one person
in your life who seems to bring up swells of emotion
in you?
3)
Do
insurmountable
differences sometimes appear in your personal
relationships?
4)
Do
you seem to rush to immediate conclusions about
people and situations?
5)
Do
you get annoyed or even angry, sometimes over
the slightest provocation?
