Wow, I love that you can’t hit “pause” on this game.

I learned the hard way that the inner world works like Cart Life. Our subconscious— the world of our “parts”- exists and evolves whether we check in on it or not.

Once you make contact with parts of yourself you didn’t know existed, it’s best to do everything you can to stay in contact with them. Otherwise they’ll feel abandoned and your budding relationship with them will suffer. Even just a quick, “Hey, what’s up?” before bed or five minutes of journaling makes a huge difference. We neglect our Parts’ Life at our peril, just like neglecting Cart Life!

This made me think that we could internalise:

“I’m such a quitter, I never stick at anything”

Or

“I’m so glad I figured out early that that wasn’t a good fit for me. I learned a lot and will take that into the next thing.”
