Self-Discovery Journal Prompts

This 7-day journaling guide provides daily writing prompts to help users engage in "shadow work", a process of exploring the hidden or unconscious aspects of oneself. The introduction explains that this work will likely bring up uncomfortable memories and emotions. It advises balancing the process with positive activities and accepting oneself unconditionally without judgment. The prompts for each day explore topics like coping mechanisms, avoided feelings, one's inner voice, forgiveness, and writing a letter to one's inner child to provide comfort.

7 Day Shadow

Work Guide
Journal Prompts to Heal and Understand Yourself
Hey Gorgeous! Before you start, let's
chat for a second.
First off, let me say I'm super
proud of you for choosing to
download this guide. No one
ever gives you praise for
choosing to work on yourself,
so let me be the one to cheer
you on!

A couple things to keep in mind


as you're going through this:
It's going to be uncomfortable. It might even bring up memories that
you comepletely forgot about that really suck. This process is all
about going within to the dark, hidden parts of your mind, so make
sure you're balancing this with positive aspects too. Throw in some
dancing, or drawing-anything that brings you good vibes.

Lastly, give yourself unconditional space. Understanding who you


are never really ends you know? It's going to take time, and it's
important not to judge yourself for what you feel or how you react.
You don't have to love what you see, but accept it because you're all
you've got. And that's enough.
-Saige
