Throughout the month of June, each day there will be a Question of the Day along with an explanation/breakdown of the question.
These questions are to assist you in your journaling/shadow work.
Here is a brief description for those who do not know what shadow work is. The term was created by Carl Jung when describing the dark side of the self. The shadow is the parts of you in which you aren’t very proud and may hide from yourself and the rest of the world. When doing shadow work, you ask yourself tough questions to identify the shadow parts of yourself and accept and show compassion for the shadow self.
*Shadow work is highly recommended for those with mental health issues such as bipolar disorder.*
Doing this work can change the trajectory of your life. Once you acknowledge the shadow self, you begin to view the world a little differently.
Coming up with tough questions can be…well…tough. The Question of the Day will assist you and you can answer at your leisure. The answers you provide are for you and you alone unless you opt to share your findings with others you trust. (Be aware. Not everyone will be supportive of this type of self-awareness.)
By the end of the month, you will have answered 30 questions about yourself in an effort to promote growth in your life.
There are a few rules for participating:
- Contemplate each question deeply before answering.
- Be open and honest with yourself no matter how it makes you seem or feel.
- With each answer, show yourself grace and compassion, even if the answer is less than flattering.
- Allow yourself to constructively feel the emotions that come with your discoveries.
- Answering these questions does not mean life will change for you immediately, however, it does mean you are on the right track to creating the life you desire.
- At the end of the month, review your answers to all the questions and record the insights you’ve gained.
Take this opportunity to get to know your shadow self for the next 30 days.
