episode 24: Shadow Values
We've talked a bit about shadow values, so today I'm going into more detail about what they really are.
Golden Values are the things that we strive for in life: the things that we put before anything else in our lives.
My top 3 golden values:
- Family
- Health
- Nature
There is a second type of value also: the Shadow Values. For every action you do, there's a feeling that you get. That feeling is your shadow value. Your nervous system and limbic system require shadow values to provide a sense of safety or security. The important thing is to recognize your shadow values and feed them in a positive way rather than seek negative feedback.
If you own your shadow values, other people cannot influence you.
If you are craving a certain feeling, or shadow value, but the action that got you there was unhealthy or unsafe, then it's in your best interest to find a new action that serves you better in order to fulfill that shadow value you're seeking.
The 7 main Shadow Values:
- Attention - being appreciated, fame, creative endeavors. Again, not necessarily in a negative way.
- Authority - feeling in charge of something, even if it's just yourself.
- Belonging - feeling like part of a community
- Control - being able to influence your own circumstances, territory, and/or others. If you value freedom, you value control.
- Rebelliousness - sticking it to the authority figure, pushing the limits
- Superiority - progress, success, ambition, being right, learning
- Validation - feeling important, recognition, feeling good enough
We are all born with these top 7 shadow values in abundance, with innate, healthy actions attached to fulfill them.
How do you know what yours are? Ask yourself these questions:
- What is my desired result? What is the goal I'm working towards?
- In this moment, what am I missing? What do I not have? What are those feelings to get to that desired result?
- In this moment, what is the name feeling I'm not getting that I would not openly admit typically?
- If you were the most egotistical person on the planet, what is the name of the feeling I'm not getting?
- How will creating my desired result create even more [insert Shadow Value here]?Then, you need to map your current actions against the new actions that will give you more of that shadow value.
When I did this for myself, the 3 that came up for me were Control, Validation, and Belonging. Shadow values will help you determine where your wounds are and where you need to do some healing. Your shadow values, or rather your actions, will drive you to a place of wealth or to a place of poverty. Many destructive habits will stem from a desire to feed a particular shadow value that can affect all facets of your life. On the other hand, not feeding them at all can have the same result.
