Try these shadow work prompts for healing and growth:
  • Do my actions align with my core values?
  • What advice would my future self give me?
  • What parts of myself do I hide from others?
  • When was the last time I felt pure joy or peace?
  • Do I feel anger or resentment toward someone?
  • What emotion do I try to avoid feeling the most?
  • What’s one thing I can do today to treat myself better?

Although I use shadow work prompts from books like Shadow Work Workbook , I think it’s better to write down everything that bothers you, instead of following prompts made by someone else. I like to list things that make me feel stressed, angry, fearful, or guilty, then choose one thing and write about it until I feel like I can walk away and breathe.
