In Jungian psychology, the shadow represents our hidden traits, the parts of ourselves we suppress or ignore. But what if making peace with our shadow was the key to authentic growth and a balanced life? Embracing the shadow is a powerful practice for individuals seeking personal growth and leaders aiming for a more genuine connection with others.

Particularly for those navigating life alone, and having mid life crisis, the workplace becomes a battleground where lies are used to fill emotional voids. The constant manipulation isn’t just about gaining power—it’s about hiding from uncomfortable inner truths. 📌 Freud’s insights reveal that: 🔰𝐋𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐠𝐨 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🔰𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐬, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 🔰𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬. 🤔 Freud argued that addressing these deep-rooted conflicts in habitual liars is the only way to break the cycle. Instead of relying on lies to gain power, true growth comes from confronting the hidden parts of ourselves. No amount of manipulation can permanently mask what remains unresolved. In the end, the truth holds lasting power—something deceit can never sustain. #WorkplaceCulture #Freud #PowerDynamics #EmotionalIntelligence #Leadership

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part yourself. What isn’t part ourselves doesn’t disturb us. – Hermann Hesse Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. – Carl Jung Both sayings are totally a different view to what we know and actually want we want to know. And if we really understand the process, that helps us a lot in the way of having growing mindset. Good reading at the link below; https://lnkd.in/dsuRcjC6

You've heard it said, 'what you focus on will grow'. You've heard it said 'what you focus on repeatedly, day in and day out, will grow'. Think about your lived experience to date: * You've experienced what it is to focus on a worry, and have the worry grow. * You've experience what it is to focus on fear, and have the fear grow. * You've experienced what it is to focus on a goal, and taste the outcome of that goal. As you focus on your deeply-held core values, meaningful purpose, your highest priorities and 'why' the desired new reconstructed neural connection is important - neuroplasticity will support the reframe, rewire and redirect process of lasting change. Ways of being and ways of thinking have been shaped in your brain, body and mind over time and repetition (consciously, subconsciously or nonconsciously). Leadership and neuroplasticity can be directed to be the best of friends in a dynamic, evolving world of work and life. Lead yourself well. https://lnkd.in/gYBrhXxD #growth #leadershipcoach #teamcoach #personalleadership #purposedriven #mindmanagement #lorrainerichmond #kelownabc #kelownawomeninbusiness #coaching #youchoose #personalgrowth #faithanddoubt #personaldevelopment #religiousharm #workinggenius #executivecoach #values #purpose #noticeandname #keynotespeaker #workshopspeaker #ceotime #leadershipdevelopment #neuroscience #neurosciencecoach #meaning #transition #coach #resilience

Many of my clients wonder why they do the things they do or how they can have more fulfilling relationships. Ultimately they are seeking more satisfying lives. When we want to make a positive change in our lives, we look for a path that will get us there. Changing behaviour lives as the bedrock of experiencing these changes. But to do so proves difficult because of the power of our unconscious habits. In order to change behaviour we have to develop our ability to self reflect as well as the habit of creating mental and emotional space inside ourselves to do so. "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In the space there is the power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom" Victor Frankl What are you doing in your life to support this? #positivechange #enneagram #teamdevelopment #patternsofbehaviour #personaldevelopment #leadershipdevelopment

What happens when you are in a room when a negative person walks in? All the energy is sucked out. Everything is energy. Light attracts light and negative people attract negative people (energy). Negative thoughts are stored in your subconscious. There is a perception gap that you always need to monitor. The way to overcome this bad habit is to replace the negative with positive. When you find yourself with a negative thought and speak, change it to a positive one even if you do not believe it! That's right—your subconscious has no edit switch and doesn't know the difference between a positive and negative.

In a world that celebrates strength, resilience and independence, vulnerability is often misunderstood. We’re taught to "hold it together," no one should know our struggles, how we feel and what emotions and struggles we are going through! Because, hey! That’s what a strong human does. Admitting our fears, showing real emotions and asking for help is like cracks in our armours. I have seen so many people not taking a helping hand even in their simple daily tasks and suffer unnecessarily, especially in their personal lives, because they don’t want to be seen as a ‘weak.’ But is it really? Vulnerability is, in fact, the opposite of weakness. It takes courage to let down our guard, to be honest with ourselves and others and to show up authentically. But then is being vulnerable means showing every emotion publicly? No, not at all. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we are opening the door to growth. We’re permitting others to connect with us on a deeper level, creating relationships rooted in trust, empathy and understanding. Vulnerability builds a strong foundation for personal and professional growth. When we stop viewing vulnerability as a flaw and start seeing it as a strength, we are open to more meaningful connections and a deeper sense of inner stability. My point is, since when being authentic and living who truly you are has become being weak? ❓ Being brave and putting on a brave face are two different things. Think about it. _____________________________________________________________________ P.S. - Join our exclusive community and walk a little Inward. ☮ The link is in the comment section below. #vulnerability #strength #spirituality #ModMonk

Why is it difficult to take risks? Why do we feel crippled when it’s time to take a bold step? The fear of the unknown which is termed in psychology as (Xenophobia). Fear of the unknown is often referred to as anxiety around unpredictable situations or events. It can also link to things that people find unfamiliar or strange. Individuals are likely to experience fear of the unknown when there is a lack of information. Another name for the condition is intolerance of uncertainty. Most at times, we feel the need to stay in the known because of what the outcome of the unknown might be. As we strive for the better, may we have courage to take bold steps. Steps, that will enrich our lives and those around us. Bold steps that counts towards self empowerment and development of character in our society. The only thing constant is change. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct."

I just finished reading this best seller! Always been a fan of Daniel Kahneman! One of Daniel Kahneman’s famous quotes from this book is: "Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it." This highlights how people tend to overestimate the importance of current thoughts or emotions, a cognitive bias relevant to decision-making today. In a fast-paced world filled with distractions, this quote reminds us to slow down, think critically, and avoid letting momentary emotions drive major decisions! 😀 #CognitiveBias #DecisionMaking #CriticalThinking #Psychology #Leadership #Mindfulness #EmotionalIntelligence #PersonalGrowth #ThinkingFastAndSlow #ProfessionalDevelopment

From psychology standpoint, loving oneself is crucial for breaking bad habits and creating positive ones, as positive self-attitude builds the foundation for self-awareness, compassion, and motivation. All of these variables are necessary for creating a desirable lasting change. Self-awareness allows people to understand the underlying causes of their habits, making it easier to address them at the root rather than just treating the symptoms. When people love themselves, they are more likely to engage in introspection and identify the triggers and emotions that lead to harmful behaviors. Self-compassion and self-forgiveness are aspects of self-love and they become fundamental when facing the inevitable setbacks that occur during the process of breaking a bad habit. Rather than being overly critical, self-compassion helps people to learn from their mistakes and continue moving forward. This kind, non-judgmental approach reduces guilt and shame, making it easier to stay committed to creating positive change. Above all, self-love provides the intrinsic motivation to engage in healthier behaviors, as individuals naturally want to care for their well-being, celebrate their own progress, and replace habits that do not serve them well with positive, fulfilling ones. Let's ponder - - How do you currently show love and care for yourself in your daily routine? - What self-limiting beliefs, or negative self-talk, might be holding you back from fully loving yourself? - What is one, however small, positive change that you can make today as an act of love towards yourself? - ... #psychology #coaching #growth #learning #success #change #leadership #performance #mindset #neuroscience
