June’s Theme: Archetype
The word of the month is Archetype. In today’s blog post, we explore the many archetypes we embody in our everyday lives. We are parents, children, creators, employees, bosses, and friends, and wear many other hats in our lives. We also employ stories that are on a repeat reel in our minds about who are and our place in the world.
We all have myths that we live by. These are the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we’re capable of, and what our place in the world is. Some of these myths are helpful and empowering, while others can be limiting and self-destructive. Can you think of myths you tell yourself? Are they negative or positive?
What is the origin of a particular myth you tell yourself? Take time to explore what they are so you can embrace the uplifting ones while releasing the ones that do not serve your highest good.
