The thing that changed and allowed me to actually start updating more efficiently was that I actually started believing that all parts of me are pretty smart. I started believing this because I started actually listening to myself and realised that these parts of me weren’t saying the ‘obviously wrong’ things I thought they were saying.
Yeah this is huge. I’ve had some similar insights myself the last few months and I now think it’s one of the most important things that people can do. Which of course requires listening to the parts of you that think the other parts are stupid or silly, as well! And the parts of you that think that thinking about yourself as having parts is weird. Etc.
My new mantra for this is: May I integrate everything that wants to be integrated, as it wants to be integrated.
