- you will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. the true power is sitting back and observing. 
 
    - how to do shadow work:
      
        - begin to view emotional triggers as teachers, showing you what needs healing. 
 
        - take 3 deep belly breaths 
 
        - PAUSE. ask: "what am i feeling?" 
 
        - practice FULL self compassion with no judgement around how you feel. MANTRA: "i accept this." 
 
        - when a person triggers you, ask: "what trait in this person is activating me?" (this is what you deny in self, or a past wound looking to be resolved.)
