I Have a Bossy Type A Shadow Part! Do You? - #77

Sticking our noses into our Shadow can be intimidating. 

 It takes willpower to explore parts of ourselves we don't like to acknowledge. 

 Though usually enlisted to keep us out of trouble, willpower can also be summoned to help us accomplish what is most important to us.

What matters most to me right now is enjoying the last month of summer.  

There is a bossy-overfunctioning-anxious-productive part in my shadow that doesn't see the value of adopting a different rhythm during long hot summer days and evenings. 

 It seems odd that a person (me) would need to rely on willpower to carve out time for naps, novels and lazy days.

 Do you need to use willpower to relax?

 Please share with us how/if willpower helps you find relaxation.

    I want to do what you are doing for August. Nothing or not as much or just being. It's a good exercise.

    I hope you do do what I am attempting to do fluteyogi (did you dance to the rhythm of that sentence?). It feels good to have company. I like thinking of our adventure as an exercise.

    I would love to hear from you in a week or two!
