    Love the question of how the negative voices of other people keeps us in a vortex of constantly putting ourselves last. Its really difficult to break out of that negativity.

    Hi @angbeebee1, Thank you for highlighting such an important issue. Breaking free from the cycle of negativity and prioritising oneself can be challenging, but it's a crucial step in asserting your value and nurturing your Shen spirit. Remember, you have the power to choose your thoughts and who you listen to. Each step you take is a move towards more positive, self-affirming beliefs. Keep pushing forward, you're doing great! Kind Regards, David

    Thank you so much for all your teachings. I so appreciate you both. As an Empath I've always found it hard to put myself first. And to stop being on autopilot saying yes when I actually feel like saying No. It's hard to put yourself first. I think a lot of it has to do with abandonment issues and being trained as a child that you're not important.

    Hi @HD-mg9ru, Thank you for your heartfelt message and for valuing our teachings. It's a significant step to recognise the patterns you choose, such as the difficulty in prioritising your own needs and the challenge of breaking the autopilot of saying yes. Understanding these patterns is a crucial step toward resolving these issues and cultivating your Shen spirit. Remember, choosing to prioritise yourself is not selfish; it's essential for your well-being.

    Thank you David and Alice. Your talk has helped lift the idea of not being good enough and not doing enough from deep in my belief system. I have been a active seeker on the spiritual path since I was 12 years old and yet at 81 years old, it has taken your conversation to really understand my own worth and how to use it affectively. I will listen to this again because there is a lot of content and I’m sure there are things I have missed. 🙏.

    Hi, with your guidance, I’ve done a lot of work around re parenting my I.C and my/ our Shen connection, and now I have another request….would you do a video specifically for the parent, our adult selves, the part of ourselves that live in the human centred world with all its interactions ! If that part of ourselves is not together,as it were, then it’s not possible to re parent our I.C properly ! Love Mike, as One !

    Hi @mikehardy3823, It's inspiring to hear about the progress you've made in re-parenting your Inner Child (I.C.) and nurturing your Shen connection. Your suggestion for a video focusing on the adult self, dealing with the human-centred world and its complexities, is excellent. It's true that having a grounded and balanced adult self is crucial for effectively re-parenting the I.C. We'll certainly consider your request for future content. Keep up the great work, Mike, and remember, we're all connected in this journey.

    I agree with everything you say on an intellectual level, but as a carer of someone with a degenerative condition, I don’t always find it easy to put into practice. Everyday seems to throw up new challenges. When I first moved in, it was more of a winwin situation, and I was giving from a full cup. But as time has gone on, and things have progressed, it has become harder. It's not a situation I can change overnight either. It would take time and a lot of really hard and heartbreaking decisions. Sometimes, what you sign up for, might not be as easy to fulfill as you first thought. So do you just give up and walk away? Do you have any tips for staying grounded and positive in challenging situations? I know most lives must have some hard times. Thankyou for your videos 🙏 I have listened to you for a long time now and have found them very helpful.

    Hi @Mungi33, Thank you for sharing your heartfelt situation. It's truly commendable to care for someone with a degenerative condition, and understandably, it can be challenging to maintain balance. It's okay to acknowledge that what you're doing is challenging and that feeling overwhelmed is natural. Remember, it's essential to take care of your own well-being too. Finding small moments for self-care, grounding yourself through simple mindfulness or breathing exercises, and seeking support from others who understand can be invaluable. You're not alone in this journey, and it's okay to seek help when needed. If you're looking for a supportive community, our FREE Wu Wei Wisdom community is here for you: facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity/. Your resilience and dedication are admirable, and it's important to recognise the strength it takes to face each day's challenges. Kind Regards, David
