Accepting the shadow side within us adds to our beauty.

I think of my anxiety as part of my shadow side. Of course the anxiety is fueled by many things but I hate it. I tend to see it as seperate from me even though I logically tell myself that I accept both my light and dark side. It is obvious that I do not. If in accept my anxiety as part of my shadow side, as part of my story, will the gold shine through?
