Dealing with your Shadow with Richard Schultz

We all have shadows that follow us. The fact is you cannot escape your shadow. The only time you can escape your shadow is when you’ve got a brilliant light shining through you. Your shadow is going to chase you around for your entire life until you go and shine light on it. Today I have the honor of hosting Richard Schultz.  He is the founder of Wisdom Ways. Richard is passionate about shadow integration, and he will be telling us all about it today.  Are you ready to deal with your shadow? Listen to this episode. The Shadow Metaphor Every one of us has a story. The stories originate from experiences, decisions, trauma, emotions, beliefs, mistakes, relationships, successes, and failures. Based on the origin of the story, we are all a shadow that follows us everywhere we go, and until we bring that shadow to light, we will never live our lives to the fullest. Dealing with Anxiety The first way of dealing with anxiety is awareness. You need to look at your life and come to the point of accepting that there is a problem. Once you are aware of the issue, it is easy to start looking for ways to address it. Richard’s superpower Richard believes his superpower is openness. It comes from my own shadow and dealing with his own shadow because his gifting comes from the shadow. Timestamps:  [00:25] Who is Richard, and what does he do?

While we’re going towards a goal.” “When you’re free from a lot of that monkey mind. You get just so much more clarity, creativity and imagination of what am I to do right now.” “The only way to deal with the shadow is not to create a positive belief. I’m okay. It’s about going towards the fear towards the shadow, processing it and reintegrating it.” “Life will show you a mirror to say hey, hey, this is what’s inside you fix it. I want to help you expose that awareness.” Connect with Richard: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrichardschultz/ Website: https://www.wisdomways.net/About/
