Bijaya Tiwari's Key Ideas from The Mountain Is You
by Brianna Wiest

Your mountain is the obstacle that prevents you from living the life you desire. Confronting it is the only way to achieve freedom and growth. You are here because a trigger revealed your wound, and it will guide you to your path and ultimately, your destiny.

🧗‍♀️ Face your mountain to reach your dreams! 🌅

You must now learn agility, resilience, and self-understanding. In the end, it is not the mountain that you must master, but yourself.

It is simply a presence of an unconscious need that is being fulfilled by the self-sabotaging behavior. It can be a coping mechanism.

We are merely numbing our real needs and giving ourselves temporary relief.

It can take froms like: Resistence to change, Uprooting, Perfectionism, Justification, etc.

Get angry with yourself, be determined and allow yourself to develop tunnel vision with one thing in mind - that you will not continue living like this. Say "I am not going to live like this anymore."

When you see someone who has something you want, congratulate them. This small gesture will extend back and open you up to receiving it as well.

In our lives, we often feel resentment towards people when they don't meet our expectations. But why? We create an image of how we want them to be, and when they don't fit into that picture, we feel disappointed.

However, if we let go of our expectations and accept people for who they truly are, we can see their unique value and appreciate them for the role they play in our lives. 🤝

Healing begins with admitting the truth about ourselves and our actions, without making excuses. This means taking full responsibility for our lives.

It also requires us to be open to making changes and stepping out of our familiar routines. This might be uncomfortable, but it's necessary for growth. 🌱

Awareness: Recognizing and understanding our emotions.

Acceptance/ Validation: Acknowledging and validating our emotions, even if they may be difficult.

Action: Taking constructive steps to manage and regulate our emotions.

When we fail out of negligence, we take a step back and slow the progress. But, when we fail while attempting new feats, we take one step closer to what will work next time.
