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..?

If not for the lows, how would we feel the highs? The duality of human existence is what allows us to fully embrace each for what they’re worth. If nothing, to remind us of our strength.
