In this episode of Mindful Mastery, we dive deep into the concept of the shadow, a term coined by Carl Jung, and discuss how to integrate these repressed aspects of ourselves. This important work can help alleviate negative self-image, increase confidence, and free up energy used to repress parts of our personality. The discussion includes valuable insights from Robert Bly's 'A Little Book on the Human Shadow' and a compelling example from the show 'Alone.' Techniques for integrating the shadow, recognizing repressed traits, and understanding the impact of these repressed aspects on mental health are also covered.

Creativity is often thought of in a very specific way. And we tend to think of creativity as being only reserved for the few, you know, quote unquote artists who are creating a specific type of thing. But creativity is so much more multidimensional than that. Creativity encompasses so many different things. Your creativity doesn't have to be reserved for one specific act. Creativity is a way of life.
