Confessing self-deprecation, over functioning, identity, and gratitude & affirmation journaling
From Wellish · 28:44
Show by Sarah Ritondale
On this week’s Confessions of a Wellish Girly, I share my realization that when I try to be vulnerable, I only talk about my shadow self and always in the present tense. I rarely think or speak about myself from a healed place, even though I’ve already healed so much.Then, I share the actionable steps I took this week to become more aware of my ambivalence and explore how my overfunctioning contributes to my struggle to do the things I keep telling myself I want to do.I also discuss a new realization about identity: how trying to become the “best version of ourselves” can turn into creating an avatar that takes us further and further away from our authentic selves. I draw on teachings from Buddhist monk Shi Heng Yi and Daniel Chidiac’s book Stop Letting Everything Affect You to explore this idea.I end the episode with Confessions of a Wellish Listener and share what I write in my gratitude and affirmation journaling.
