    Additional comment here sorry but I have to tell you guys it's hard for me to make a decision in the grocery store sometimes it could be just like what type of paper towels and I'll just get paralyzed just standing there for like 30 minutes. But the other day I addressed my little one inside. I said " good job look at you! you're getting all the things you need to have a running home and that's spectacular! let's just pick these up! We can always get a different one down the line. I'm so proud of you kiddo! Come on let's get the rest of this stuff done because we are doing great! Accept that the I'm so proud of you part, I said it out loud! No one was around me, but it still tickles me to this moment maybe before I would have been like embarrassed or something but I recall thinking "that's so cute! My God you're adorable!" Me: the person that spent the last two decades self-deprecating, is super cute!❤😊😀

    From listening to all these videos it’s really helped me to grow. I have lived so long practically all my life with a negative voice berating me all the time. But when I realize that that negative voice is my inner child throwing a tantrum, I show my inner child more kindness and more attention and it’s really helped. For the first time in my life the negative voice I had that was constant and when it does flare up, I know how to care for myself and silence it. I really appreciate what you are doing thank you for sharing this knowledge and videos❤️

    Hi, so is the frame work -
    1. Notice when your caught up in the negative thought cycle and say "STOP"
    2. Find somewhere quiet, take a few soothing deep breaths then reframe those negative thoughts to positive ones
    3. Let go, when the negative thought re-emergies..label this as a typical intrustion then come back to the task at hand (the present moment)
    Is this how it works?
    Thankyou..

    Oh lordy, I did a little experiment on my negative self-talk. I have over the years after CBT and other practices developed a bad habit of plastering positive thoughts over the negative ones. So the negative self-talk was in operation but on a more pre-verbal state (the brain is amazing). So I was still aware that I'm saying crappy things to myself but also resisting and trying to gag them with positive ones (that I don't believe in). Exhausting, right? Because I live alone I decided to experiment and speak out loud all the negative thoughts without interruption one evening. What a revelation 😂! I actually burst out laughing at some of it because it was so nutty. I really have been reprimanding myself for the smallest things. A really sobering experience just to get a real good glimpse of how I've been speaking to myself. But I needed to be honest with this before I could move on.

    Hi,
    I’m so grateful for what you explain for at minute 43.
    To me this affects everything, the root of how the underlying beliefs can finally evolve and change.
    It’s the quality of your relationship with the inner child, built on your sincere unconditional fascination with who she is in all her uniqueness, demonstrated by your willingness to listen for however long it takes.
    She then eventually relaxes and becomes interested in what you have to say, can be receptive, learn and grow.
    Until she feels that, your attunement tells you to keep listening and inquiring, without preaching, without any need to control.
    I suspect that if I want to “get rid of” the RLF my child is creating, then I’m not completely in my Shen. The Shen will be fascinated with the RLF and all the mysterious promise it holds within it. And the inner child will recognize the Shen and relax into openness when she knows she’s in the presence of Shen.
    I haven’t heard you explain this transformation in the child before, thank you!

    • @WuWeiWisdom
      @WuWeiWisdom  2 місяці тому

      Hi @lisaallenful,
      Thank you for sharing this beautifully expressed reflection. You've captured the essence of the Shen and inner child relationship with such clarity and depth. Recognising that the Inner Child’s readiness to evolve comes from feeling truly heard and accepted is a profound insight. When we approach the Inner Child without any agenda-just sincere curiosity and openness-she can indeed begin to trust and feel safe enough to explore change.
      You're absolutely right that the Shen does not seek to "get rid of" the Red Light Feelings (RLF), but instead approaches them with fascination and openness. This is the Shen spirit in its pure form: compassionate, patient, and unconditionally accepting. As you said, when the inner child recognizes this presence, she can relax, become curious, and naturally grow.
      I appreciate your deep engagement with these teachings. Thank you for sharing your wisdom here. And if you’d like to explore further, our Wu Wei Wisdom community is a great place to continue this dialogue: facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity/.
      P.S. Exciting News!

    Thank you David & Alex.
    So wonderful to know that it's me who is responsible for my feeling.
    I am not responsible for the wrong external situation,
    but I am responsible for the feeling I create....
    and now I also understand that it's the wrong belief that my inner child hold ....
    that he is unworthy if people around him don't take attention on him..
    that's why, to prove that he is unworthy, he persuades me to self-harm,
    so that people around him/me would pity on him/me
    and then he/I would get love....
    Wow, what a sick belief.
    I should immediately settle this belief issue with my inner child

    I have never had a problem, as an adult with self doubt. As a child I did. But as I grew to become an adult, I realised that me telling my self I'm not good enough or that I can't do something was actually me confusing it with "I don't actually want this".
    A good example is when I joined my current job 10 years ago, there are opportunities to advance. I always thought I was supposed to advance in my job to make me feel better about my job and my self. I tend to struggle to achieve positions of leadership and I always had doubts and I always told my self I wasn't good enough to do this. Then, over time I realised that all this negitive thoughts was actually me misinterpreting my self. I actually never wanted those positions in the first place. That pulled all the self doubt and the weight and stress away from me almost instantly. I'm so much happier for it now!!

  • @stevemiller8895
    @stevemiller8895 4 місяці тому +1

    Okay when you say stop it, I want you to think about what you're saying, because if you have negative thoughts inside of you they are not going to go away by you just resisting it.
    as a matter of fact your resistance to them it's going to cause them to persist because every thought wants attention and there are two ways of going about this, if you have a negative thought don't stop it just let it flow let It be and it will go away, in its time, Or you can address it and accept it as you would your own wounded inner child and say to it I acknowledge and accept you and you're welcome to stay here as long as you like and then the feeling moves on or transforms into positive.
    So it is necessary to be in the constant state of acceptance bc any form of resistance is a form of suppression.

    • @WuWeiWisdom
      @WuWeiWisdom  4 місяці тому

      Hi Steve,
      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that resisting thoughts can often lead to more inner conflict. Allowing thoughts to flow and acknowledging them without judgment is indeed a powerful approach. However, it’s also important to guide your mind with clarity and intention. When we lovingly address our thoughts and emotions, we prevent them from becoming overwhelming. By bringing our Shen spirit into harmony, we create the space for transformation, where these thoughts can naturally dissipate or evolve into something more positive.
      Kind Regards,
      David

    This may be the stubborn part of me that just will not let go of the negative thinking but here's my question. What if I drill down to the reason why I tend to catastrophize, , and the actual worst case scenario does happen? Using Alex's example, what if I do lose my job and I'm told it's because I was not good enough? I suppose my question is, how do you extend what I learned to coping with the worse case scenario if it actually does happen?

    @Neptunianist 3 роки тому

    Thanks for this. As always the videos are very insightful and this is no exception. But, for me, there's an aspect to this that seems to be outside of what I can do or be: I can't help but self-criticise, to negatively self-talk and to be self-judgemental. It's all I know how and what to do and in the absence of anything else I can't do anything else. I cannot "stop it" because that implies I am outside or separate from those thoughts. By this I mean to say that I am not "choosing" them, they are who I am. I don't "choose" to feel the way I do in the same way that I don't choose to have the personality that I have. It is who I am. How can one stop being who one is?

      @Neptunianist 3 роки тому

      @@hhz723 - Thanks for your reply. It is not that I believe that is who I am, it is just that I do not feel any different than I do. To try and make sense of the way I see things, so that you might understand, I have created the following analogy regarding "choice" which is the basis of the argument:
      Imagine you are choosing between two things, say, Jelly Babies or Liquorice Allsorts. The initial position is that you have neither. That is who you "are"; having neither, which gives the possibility of being able to choose (because you are in that "having nothing" position). That is your state of being.
      Now, by comparison, imagine that you had already had Jelly Babies and had had Jelly Babies all your life and had never been without them. You might see the Liquorice Allsorts but you cannot identify what it would be like to have them or, for that matter, to have neither. You cannot put yourself into the state of not having Jelly Babies because you have never even seen, experienced or conceived the perception of being without them, let alone having Liquorice Allsorts.
      You, perhaps, are able to assume a neutral position by default but I cannot. For me, the emotional turbulence is ever-present, like being a boat on turbulent sea. I can only imagine what it must be like to be still.
      I absolutely understand the logic and philosophy of Wu Wei Wisdom and really regard what David and Alex say with very high regard. But it assumes that we have knowledge of a neutrality that some people, like me, do not have. This is the state of having "stop(ped) it". But this is not something I can grasp, except conceptually.
      I have experienced states of mind of clarity and calm, where my Executive Function, emotional stability, balance and anxiety and energy levels are perfectly fine but these have been entirely spontaneous and extremely rare. I mean many decades of separation between them. When they happen it is incredible. Like experiencing the same state of mind that Bradley Cooper's character, in the film "Limitless", experiences and it feels perfectly normal. Because it is. It just feels exceptional by comparison to my normal state of mind which is to be; anxious, self-conscious, confused and all the other "red-light" feelings that are described elsewhere.
      I had thought that it is something I ate, so tried diet but, so far, to no avail.
      Maybe the next video for me to watch is "Inner Child Emotional Overwhelm" but you mention "doing the Golden Thread". Do you have a link to the video describing this process, please? I cannot find it.
