I may be a lion but I'm a cowardly, lazy lion. I need that to change though make myself a more likable person to myself. #meditationnotes #meditation #umsonline #transformingpersonality #dislikepersonality #innerwork #shadowwork

Channeling the Clever Mind
Channeling the Clever Mind
For all of these thoughts about the mind being this clever tentacle-like thing that looks for ways to trap and trick us into various thought prison cycles, we must remember to greet our minds with compassion.
Our minds are still part of us, and even though our minds can be infinitely clever in terms of finding ways to trick us with this or that, this means we… ourselves are also that clever. And…

But, but what of the people who will think something of me? I hear you whisper... What of the social norms... what will they THINK OF ME!
