Subject: [DailyDialogue #6] Primary selves
“The fact is that within each personality are many different sub-personalities, or selves. To better understand our own inner conflicts and inconsistencies we need to become aware of these.” - - Shakti Gawain
Our conflicts in relationships often mirror our inner conflicts. Becoming aware of our sub-personalities and our inner conflicts assists us in taking responsibility for our contribution to outer conflicts. The frustrations we have with our partner are often related to the fact that their primary selves are the opposite of our primary selves.
Our relationships are mirrors that tell us what direction to take in healing our inner conflicts. Choosing to take the time to explore this idea will help you transform your relationship conflicts. What personality traits do you tend to present to the world? Do you act more vulnerable or guarded, spontaneous or organized? Is it easier for you to give or receive?
Experiment - Dialogue with your partner about the personality traits that you most often display in the relationship. Notice which traits tend to be opposite of your partner’s primary selves.
Affirmation - I am open to learning more about myself through the reflection of my relationships.
