Shadow Boxing: Fighting Myself for Myself

Last weekend, I had a failure around food. Failures around food always expose my shadow selves. This time, it was a trigger food for overeating.

But, this post is more about failure than food. Failures happen, and I have gotten used to them. I have also gotten used to getting out of them, which I did.

But, sharing these failures in a public way is new ground for me, and I haven’t known how to talk about my failures in meaningful ways.

My failures around food feel epic and so do the struggles to turn them around. But, the solutions themselves are unremarkably boring.

Talking about the solutions may be more boring than the solutions. I ate clean unprocessed plants. I worked out. I shopped for groceries. I prepared food for the next day.

Transforming my shadows occurs in the boring routines of daily life. But, there is tremendous value in talking about these mundane details to learn and grow.

Still, I had been asking myself: How will I talk about my failures in ways that go beyond summarizing meaningless details?

The answer materialized out of nowhere.
