Stop being scared of the dark


Listen Later

I went for a walk the other night, and it got me thinking about how much I love the dark. I love the feeling of almost blending into my surroundings and being alone there in the dark. The more I thought about this, the more I started to see that we're always pushed towards the light and to avoid the dark. From a young age, some of us are scared of the dark. We're scared of what we might find in there and so we avoid it. We only want to be play in the light.

But the dark is so important. Feeling comfortable enough to go into the dark physically and metaphorically is where great change and comfort can be found. We recently completed a three month mastermind with couples and it was very interesting to hear the difference between the females in the group and the males. The males were all adverse to the idea of this couples work. They didn't think they needed it, that things weren't that bad, they could figure it out and push through. They didn't want to play in the darkness of these underlying issues.

Allowing yourself to explore the darkness has huge benefits and true growth. Don't be afraid to go there and see what you can find.
