Shadow Work.
The process of bringing what was once hidden into the light. It is the work of honoring both the light and dark that resides within ourselves. It is an important tool for self awareness and growth.
In this blog post, I have shared with you some personal journal prompts that help helped me in my own healing journey.
**TIP: When it comes to doing shadow work or any type of personal growth, remember to be gentle on yourself. You do not need to go through all of the journal prompts included unless you want to. Sometimes, it take just one question to bring profound transformation and healing.**

Ask yourself how these things make you feel. Do you feel you don’t have control? What is the issue?

If it wasn’t for your lack of action – I never would have created my strong desire to stand up for the underdog.
Thank you to the girl who stuffed a note in my locker with a stick figure of me hanging myself with the caption ‘KILL YOURSELF...
