Coaching my younger self
I have a client I’ve been working with over Zoom for the past few weeks who is in her early 20s and yet also seems to be addressing several of the things I’m confronting at 38, and others I have a solid grasp of but used to struggle with.
So it’s been very cool to, in addition to doing shamanic IFS-influenced journeys, just advise her on some things and some directions to take her mind into.
She shares my experience with having parents that showed you what it looks like to be miserable and taught you then to do different than they’re doing.
We’ve chatted through assuming good things can happen for you, focusing on what you want, learning how to believe it’s possible, finding some of your people and being yourself around other people.
I’d say the most powerful message I’ve shared with her so far though is this one:
Pay attention consistently to your view of yourself
Because chinks in that will reveal themselves through life and other people
Just something to chew on this morning.
