Do you have an inner checklist or a set of rules that you assume, if you follow them, will lead to a perfect or happier life?
“When I eat healthily and go to the gym, I’ll have a better body; then I’ll love myself.”
Or
“If I do yoga and meditate every day, then I’ll be less anxious, and people will like me more.”
Most of us live in this transactional space within ourselves, where we’ve decided that if we do X, then we’ll be ‘good enough’ (whatever that means for you).
But somewhere along the way, the pressure to live up to this ever-growing set of inner conditions and rules becomes too great to live up to, and we end up failing in these transactions.
It’s at this point that the voice of your inner transactional relationships morphs into the voice of your inner critic, and you can find yourself in a highly anxious space, often teetering on the edge of depression and anxiety or falling into that dark space entirely.
Luckily, we don’t have to wait until our lives start to crumble under the weight of our transactional relationships.
This week’s podcast is all about how we can move out of this transactional space and into more positive unconditional internal and external relationships (yes, this can apply to external relationships too, tune in to find out more.)
As always, there are tips, tricks and journey Ideas to help you in your journey of Shamanic self-discovery.
