How To Do Inner Work

How To Do Inner Work

The idea behind inner work is not to expose yourself to painful memories or feed toxic traits. It is about learning more about all parts of your personality, including positive traits and the things you want to work on. 

Get an inner work journal: 

Journaling is an excellent way to encourage self-reflection because it lets you put your thoughts in writing and work through them in real time. Using self-discovery questions, you can perform at-home inner work exercises and reflect on the observations on the page. 

Get the full benefits of inner work by combining independent work with support:

Share your desire to perform inner work with an individual, who can help you explore the hidden parts of yourself with more guidance. 

Avoid shaming yourself: 

Focus on self-acceptance while doing inner work. 

This is an exploratory exercise aimed at fostering growth, not one that encourages shame or lowers your self-esteem. 

As you work, track negative sensations that come up in your body. 

And if you sense you are not prepared to do this work now, wait until you are ready. There are many other ways to learn more about yourself.

Taking command of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions involves: 

Quieting the mind

Practicing emotional selectivity

Releasing your emotional baggage

Creating a new narrative for your life

Reprogramming your subconscious beliefs to match your conscious intentions

Taking consistent and aligned actions with who you truly are
