 So in some of my past videos and with a lot of the people I've been working with I emphasise the importance and the usefulness of doing something called shadow journaling, which is When you are down when you feel bad to get in touch with those feelings and to write them down on paper Now here's the thing When you've done that You have complete permission to use positive thinking. Okay? so in In fact, it's another vital step in this. It's not either or it's not just focusing on shadow journaling all the time When you've done that you do do that and that's vitally important, but you combine that with thinking In a different mindset in a mindset that is actually of a higher level So I'm giving you permission today if you need it You don't need it from me, of course, but I would like to emphasise start to think positively Once you do the work on your shadow self Get in touch with what that depression wants to say what that anxiety wants to say and you've done the work when you're ready Then start to discover. Oh my god, you know what I can actually do whatever I want. I actually am good enough I am capable. I am worthy of Getting the things in life that I want Allow yourself to say it. In fact, don't even allow yourself to do it it is so important to do that right and I should have emphasised that in past videos because Doing the the hope of course is that By doing the shadow work that it naturally comes about right the thoughts the positive thoughts the positive mindset comes about But I think in some of the past videos I had emphasised it so strongly that people were just completely focusing on shadow journaling It it was it's always with the intention of moving into the positive. Okay, so you will naturally Move yourself into the positive mindset and start to use more positive ways of talking to yourself so You can bring it in as a part of your practice if you're that type of person that has a daily practice Which I always recommend you should have in fact, I think it's the best thing you can do for yourself Do the shadow work, but then reap the benefits allow yourself to have the benefits to start seeing things in complete new ways Talking to yourself in new ways writing a new story for yourself My story is what I was it is only what I my imagination is limited to So full permission start to use positive thinking Not as a band-aid to cover up the negative stuff work on the negative stuff and then move into the positive stuff That's where your power is. That's where your inspiration is. That's where you're going to get your energy Bundles of it will come to you when you start to really embrace the positive side of things and living from that side doing what the positive Proactive optimistic part of yourself that mindset wants you to do so bear in mind You have two parts positive and negative and work on both and use both Guys thanks for watching.
