We are here to talk Shadow Work.
One of the hardest things you can do is dig deep and discover exactly who you are on a deep level.
Many people aren’t ready to look at themselves in the mirror. Or they think they’re self-aware.
Are you interested in digging deep to find out exactly who you are and what you’re made of? You can do that by doing your shadow work.
Shadow work is essentially the parts of you that you may be blind to. Your ego doesn’t want to acknowledge this baser part of you, because it’s hard to actually see yourself sometimes.
If you’re ready to enlighten and become a better version of yourself, you can practice holding that mirror up to those parts of yourself with Journaling.
Here are some great prompts to really help you dig deep and hold that looking glass up to your soul.
- 1. What is the biggest lie I’ve told myself?
- 2. What reoccurring negative things do I say about myself?
- 3. What do I feel guilt and shame over?
- 4. When challenged how do I react?
- 5. When my beliefs are challenged how do I react?
- 6. What is something I fear being judged over?
- 7. How do I handle rejection?
- 8. What about rejection bothers me?
- 9. Is there something I need to forgive? What am I holding onto?
- 10. How do my past traumas affect me?
- 11. When have you felt unsafe? Why?
- 12. What is something about you that you hide from others? Why?
- 13. What makes you doubt yourself?
- 14. How do I project onto others/situations?
- 15. What would you change about yourself?
- 16. How am I toxic?
- 17. How can I love myself more?
- It’s hard being honest about yourself. It can be super hard working through your shadow work.
It is empowering when you do, because you’ll be letting go of things that hold you back, like self-limiting beliefs.
Give shadow work a try! We are curious what you’ll feel as you work through these emotions.
