In the privacy of your own head and heart

September 20, 2016 3:18 PM

Doing inner work could mean any number of
things.

Accepting yourself and reprogramming beliefs and identifying values and
reframing self talk and releasing shame and setting boundaries and being kind
to yourself and letting go of the past and restoring wholeness and decoding
dreams and connecting with spirit and healing guilt and leveraging limitations
and feeling your feelings and releasing resentment and alchemizing anger and
awakening to your true self, to name a few.

What’s hard is, none of this work
can be comfortably quantified. There’s no passing grade. We don’t have any
metrics to show us where the inner work is paying off in the material world.

And that can be discouraging, because part of us can’t help but ask, what’s the
point of all this inner work? Is it actually making my life better, or am I
just fetishizing personal development? Can I see the ripples in the real world,
or am I just treating myself like little narcissistic project, disappearing
down the rabbit hole of my own mythology?

It’s a constant battle. Especially if
you’re the kind of person who does a lot of thinking and reflecting and
imagining.

But here’s the part that nobody tells you. Once you’ve done the
inner work, everything else comes faster. It’s the strangest thing. You spend
all this time in the privacy of your own head and heart, building your
spiritual and emotional and mental foundation.

And then one day, you suddenly
realize,oh wow, I’ve created fertile inner soil from which my outer
life can now flourish.

LET ME ASK YA THIS…

Are you using the entirety of your inner life to serve your dreams?
