Today I am having one of THOSE days, and it got me thinking about this healing journey we are on.
It got me to take "time out" to remind myself that there is no place called "destination happiness". No little town we can move into where all our difficulties disappear.
No, managing our evil twin is an on-going activity. An activity that, at times, will be easy, at other times very difficult. And, at other times still, we will simply just crash.
Those crash days. Yours could be about money or looks or relationships or work or all of the above.
Today I want to tell you that these days are not failures.
They are hard, yes. But - no one said that civil war would be easy. Our wolves are having a stand-off. The evil twin is flexing its muscles.
Remember, no matter how hard we work on this, we are creatures of light and dark. Light does not exist without dark.
The trick is to be kind to yourself, and just do your best, at all times remembering that your best is going to change from moment to moment. It will be different when you feel strong, as opposed to when you feel vulnerable.

This is OK, ok ?
Let's do some recalculating.
Take a moment and look the dark wolf right in the eyes. Identify the self defeating core foundational belief you are having about yourself and ask yourself the following questions :
- Is this thought helpful in empowering me ?
- Is this belief kind to myself ?
- Is there an affirmation I can create that, theoretically, would render the belief to be impotent ?
Write the affirmation down.
Now feed your light wolf : Say it over and over to yourself.
Now feed your light wolf : Say it over and over to yourself.
Tell it to your evil twin.
Remind yourself that the wolf that wins, is the one you feed.
Do it.
