🌺 shadow work “saturday”
Hello~ I’m Shwee! 🥰
I’m a shadow worker and hellenic eclectic witch from the depths of Ohio. I specialize in self-love, self-care, and self-worth! I focus on sharing tips, affirmations, and journaling shadow work prompts 🌺
These are my favorite mini-shadow work starter prompts and I wanted to share them to help those on their current (or starting!) shadow work journey!
Please feel free to respond per question/post in replies if called to! I adore hearing your answers to the prompts, but your comfort and desired privacy is what matters most! So, remember, you don’t have to publicly share anything, shadow work is a very personal journey 💗
(and yes-- these can be done any day of the week! I just love doing my shadow work on saturday and sundays!)
🌺 1 ▫️ start by keeping track of your feelings/emotions throughout the day; record how you felt and try to pin-point why you felt certain ways in different situations
• how could you have handled it better..?
• why did you react the way you did..?
🌺 2 ▫️ write a letter to your past or future self, then break down your thoughts on why you said or did certain things; address any emotions that pop up during this process and record them
• why did you feel that way..?
• what events in your life made you right a wrong..?
🌺 3 ▫️ consider your life today and the reality in this moment
• are you living true to yourself..?
• are you changing who you are based on who you're around..?
• if so, what are those changes..?
• why do you make those changes..?
🌺 4 ▫️ allow yourself to remember a person you miss or unintentionally distanced from
• are you holding on to someone you should let go of..?
• dig deeper, do you know why you're hold on to them still..?
• what are small steps you can take to let go of them..?
🌺 5 ▫️ think of your deepest honest fear; but your REAL fears, but not just spiders or heights
• could this fear be irrational..?
• why do you think you're afraid of those things..?
• are there any steps you can take to lessen that fear..?
🌺 6 ▫️ mention the people closest in your life
• how do you treat each of those people..?
• are you being a positive healthy influence on their life..?
• if you're are you a toxic one, what changes are you able to make in your behavior to stop the toxicity..?
🌺 7 ▫️ acknowledge the things you often hide about yourself, especially when it comes to certain people in certain situations
• what do you wish other people knew about you..?
• why do you keep these things so hidden..?
• do you feel more embarrassed or scared..?
🌺 8 ▫️allow your mind to take you back to a rather traumatic time in your life; try to outline this incident
• are you allowing yourself to heal from past traumas or incidents..?
• what healthy ways could you address unhealed trauma in order to move to a healthier place..?
🌺 9 ▫️ make a list of people you don't like, tolerate, or understand
• try to be completely honest, why do you believe you don't like them..?
• are they actually bad people or do you see bad parts of yourself you hate reflecting in them..?
🌺 10 ▫️ write down everything that happens to you in a week that makes you feel bad in any way, time stamp these entry's for later comparisons!
• are you mostly feeling overwhelmed..?
examine each of these and ask why certain events make you feel bad throughout the day/week
✨ BONUS-- write down what you believe about a variety of things in life; from religion and karma all the way down to relationships and your career path
• why do you believe those things..?
• are these feelings set in stone or are you willing to accept alternate views..?
