As with every heroβs journey, our movement toward a better life begins with showing up. But that doesnβt mean we have to smite or slay all the demons, Babadooks, or even the spooklets that trouble us. It does mean we must face up to, make peace with, and find an honest and open way to live with them. When we show up fully, with awareness and acceptance, even the worst demons usually back down. Simply by facing up to the scary things and giving them a name, we often strip them of their power. We end the tug-of-war by dropping the rope.
