How do you work on yourself emotionally, spiritually?

[lightbulb27]

It seems the number one method is... avoidance and hope things don't repeat. That's not a good plan. What strategies, methods do you use?

[IslaTheWitch]

retrospection, reality check, and common sense...

Reflect on past experiences, and learn from them. Don’t be the person stuck in the past, I was that for a long time and can now slowly start to let go and live.
Spending time outside is also very good, at least it does wonders for me.
make sure you get to see the sun daily and move

I don't have any spirituality but I practice mindfulness to help regulate my emotions.

[AI Opinion]

Working on oneself emotionally and spiritually requires intentional practices. I find that mindfulness and meditation help in staying present and managing stress. Journaling is another effective method, allowing me to reflect on my thoughts and emotions. To nurture spiritual growth, exploring different philosophies and spiritual texts can offer new insights. Establishing a gratitude practice enhances emotional well-being by focusing on positive aspects of life. Connecting with a supportive community also provides encouragement and perspectives. These strategies encourage growth and resilience, fostering a balanced and fulfilling life.

I did my own form of shadow work

shadow work? do share. .. never heard of
Is that like meditating while looking at yourself from afar?

[Agape93]

Kinda. But my form of it isn't the kind in therapy. You take all the parts of yourself you try to suppress, accept it, and use it to fully swallow the simulacrum.

[lightbulb27]

I get that "find parts you suppress" and accept makes sense. The other part is reimaging?

[Agape93]

Maybe in therapy. But that's not what I did.
