Day 26: It's Not All Black or White

Two sides of the same coin

Are you with us or against us? The core message of the inner critic is grounded in the tribal mentality that divides people into categories with no allowance for the nuances that make us each truly unique. It is, of course, that fear based message that is so crafty that it often presents itself as logic.

In today’s exercise, we take a look at the black and white fodder we’ve brought to the table as two sides of the same coin. The dark and the light are not in opposition, but vital elements to the whole. And in this way, the critic is not really in opposition to us, but is our fear based inner-protector trying to keep us safe. We can listen to that voice, discern it for what it is, and move through the process anyway.
