- 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.
