- Pause and assess if an issue is truly yours to address before offering help. This helps maintain personal boundaries and ensures appropriate assistance.
- When dealing with personal relationships, avoid rescuing others from their problems, as this fosters their independence and self-reliance.

- Demonstrate belief in others' capabilities by supporting them without taking on their problems, promoting healthier support dynamics.
6. π‘οΈ Providing the Right Kind of Support
- Asking 'What kind of support would you like right now?' helps individuals identify their needs, often revealing a desire for a listening ear to access their own inner wisdom.
- This approach encourages self-reflection and empowers individuals to articulate their specific needs, leading to more effective support.
- For example, someone might initially feel overwhelmed and unsure of what they need, but by being asked this question, they can clarify whether they need advice, reassurance, or simply someone to listen.
- Implementing this strategy can enhance communication and improve the quality of support provided, as it aligns the support with the individual's actual needs rather than assumptions.
7. π The Importance of Clear Seeing and Shadow Work
- Commitment to clear seeing is vital to unlocking one's 'King energy,' involving seeing others, the world, and oneself with clarity and depth.
- Avoid outsourcing your understanding of the world; gain firsthand experience like Aragorn, rather than relying on others' interpretations as Theodan does.
- Overcome negative projection by acknowledging personal traits you're ashamed of and avoid projecting them onto others.
- Beware of positive projection, where fear of inadequacy leads to exaggerating others' positive qualities, as seen in Frodo's misplaced trust in Gollum.
- Projections can be reduced through Shadow work, which involves reclaiming disowned aspects of oneself, both good and bad.
- Develop courage by being open to emotions, recognizing unconscious vows made to avoid feelings like fear and shame, which can lead to compulsive avoidance behaviors.
- Confront what you've been avoiding to transform your life, potentially leading to sustained and growing confidence.
