Understanding Your Reflections: The Mirror of Criticism
Always remember, when you criticize something or someone, you are actually criticizing a part of yourself. You will only recognize in others what resonates with you energetically.
To understand this in simple terms, imagine you speak German, and the person you are interacting with speaks French. Would you be able to understand what they are saying?
No, right?
Similarly, your energy structure has a language of its own—it will only recognize what it speaks within. So whenever a negative emotion arises toward someone, take a moment to look within. Where is it coming from?
- Which parts of yourself do you struggle to accept?
- Which part of you feels jealous, upset, irritated, or angry with the other person?
If you feel jealous, does it mean you believe you don’t have enough? Or that life is unfair to you? Does it make you feel sad or upset?
If you feel angry, ask yourself: What exactly triggered my anger?
Remember, anger is never a standalone emotion—it is often the aftereffect of deep hurt. What part of you felt so hurt that it resulted in an outburst? What made you feel wounded?
Self-Reflection: A Daily Practice
At the end of each day, take a few moments to reflect:
- Did the day go as you planned?
- Were you able to stay positive and uplifted?
- If not, what upset you?
- Which part of you didn’t feel whole or fulfilled?
Stay with these thoughts. When you sit with your emotions rather than suppress them, you will start understanding your deeper self. This awareness is the first step toward healing and transformation.
