Shadow Work: prompts & explanations

~Assist your manifestations, shifting journey and relationship with yourself ♡

(Prompts are at the bottom of post.)

{ What is it? ☁️

The name eludes it to something mysterious and scary, but it is not. Shadow work is basically just self reflection. The practice of exploring the hidden and suppressed parts of yourself (the shadow.)

The goal is not to “fix” but to acknowledge and accept. By doing so you can achieve greater self awareness, emotional healing and personal growth.

This process leads to a more authentic, balanced and empowered version of yourself, as it allows you to confront and release these limiting beliefs, patterns, trauma and unresolved pain.

{ How does it help me shift and manifest? 🪐

*** Shadow work is not needed to shift realities or manifest. It's simply a tool there for you to use if you're interested.

But I believe it can help with release limiting beliefs, patterns, trauma and unresolved pain you have related to shifting. Maybe you have the belief that you could never shift. Or that manifestation could take you months to see desires.

Chances are you’ve spent some time on shiftok and downloaded a lot of misinformation. With shadow work you can construct your own beliefs that serve you, cause all you need to shift is yourself—and you might hear that all the time. Doing this work can help you finally believe it.

Knowing your true needs brings the best motivation, I’ve found.

{ How to do it? 📓

*** Please ensure you’re in a somewhat stable mindset and safe environment to fully digest any confrontational feelings and trauma.

1. Get something to write with,

2. Ask yourself personal questions, write about what’s been bothering you and ask ‘why?’ repeatedly. Or look up prompts,

3. Don’t lie to yourself, it only sets you back. No one sees this but yourself. That’s it.

** There’ll be some tough questions to answer and that’s okay, come back to it later.

** Do as many questions as you’re comfortable with. You’ll feel the weight of them as you answer honestly to yourself.

{ Prompts : 🖋️

What emotions eriss when you think about shifting?

Did you neglect this reality when you found out about shifting?

Have you ever forgotten or left shifting? What did your life look like?

Everything that happens in this reality has the possibility to happen in another. What is something you’re anxious of possibly live through again?

What lessons might your current reality be teaching you?

Would you rather face the same problems you face here, in another reality? Is anything easier?

Does your amount of scripting reflect your need for control?

Do anti shifters demotive you? Why does what they say get to you?

What do you feel after not shifting? Faith, frustration?

At what point do you attempt to shift the most?

Do you keep track of how long you haven’t shifted for?

Do you care to know the scientific reasoning for shifting? Does it feel more real to have that explanation?

Do you script traumatic events you haven’t been through here? What do it for for you to live through them or have them as memories?

What insecurities about yourself could resurface in your dr?

How do you feel when someone shares their successful shifting story?

How does the fear of the unknown effect your shifting experience?

Do you view not shifting to your dr as a failure or step closer?

Do you believe shifting is harder for you than it is for others? What actions fuel this belief?

How do you treat yourself when you don’t shift?

If you plan on permsshifting, what is something that could bring you back to your cr?

When do you think you should take a shifting break?

Has your script turned more into a fanfiction rather than something to actually live through?

Pick a reality; what are the pros and cons of shifting there?

Pick a reality; what are you scared of happening?

Writing Tip

Create a writer’s notebook

Get a physical composition book. Mark it with tabs, and jot down important notes for whatever you’re writing to go back to.

Make notes on your characters. Write down writing tips and hacks. Have a physical reminder of your work in your space.

Your notebook isn’t just a great way to keep track of your notes, it’s also a reminder to write. It’s a physical touchstone for your progress.

Now write!

I was at the bookstore and I found these how to choose a Bible for Christians pamphlets and so here's the Jewish version for buying a tanakh

1. Skip the pamphlet

Two find the two shelves with Jewish books

3. Ask yourself why there are so many books that look like Amish Romance Novels

4. Sammy spider's Yom Kippur?!?!?!

5. Remember what you were doing and and look for a tanakh

6. Buy the JPS tanakh because that is the only one that's there. Least it's a solid one

[ID: a comic in the TUA paranatural au, depicting Patch recruiting Lila to spy on the Activity Club for her. Both of them are about twelve. The first three panels are a flashback of an argument between Diego and Patch.

Flashback, Panel 1: A younger Patch shouts at a younger Diego, "WHAT is the Activity Club!" Diego growls "None of your business."

Panel 2: Patch says, teary-eyed, "You've been so different since you joined."

Panel 3: Diego looks guilty while Patch continues, "It's like it ate your brain! Why won't you talk to me anymore?"

Present Day, Panel 1: Patch is leaning on a desk while Lila sits on it. Patch says, "So, yeah. That's why I want to know what the Activity Club does."

Panel 2: Lila kicks her feet and says " And that's why you want me to join YOUR club. So I can spy on them for you." Patch smiles, embarrassed, and says "Yeah, basically."

Panel 3: Patch hunches her shoulders, saying, "It sounds bad when you say it like that."

Panel 4: She looks beseechingly up at Lila. "But I'm really worried about him. He won't talk to any of his friends. What the hell did they do to him!"

Panel 5: Lila waves her hand reassuringly. "No, I totally get it!"

Panel 6: Lila holds out her hand to Patch, smiling. "I'll tell you everything I learn."

Panel 7: She continues, "Trust me." Meanwhile, she writes a list in a notebook, headed with "Lies for Patch". End ID]

The above is the "Flower" that I took my "45 years on the planet" Iist from which I included in my last blog.

To do a Flower, draw a circle in the middle of a blank page. Write an issue or a question you are grappling with in the center. Quickly draw a line and write what comes to mind. Repeat quickly around the circle. In this way you are shutting down your mental editor.

It's a great strategizing tool. I learned it from a friend in the early 80's and have been using it ever since.

My brother recently got into Demon Slayer so I wanted to make a kny oc for him since I did it before with both me and my sister and never got around to my brother :)

But I started by refreshing my own design because wow?? It’s been 4 years since I first made my kny insert character and a lot of things are now outdated! Not to mention my art has improved a lot, I hope. More details under the cut!

Meet Ebisu Koharu: youngest of the Ebisu family and physically the weakest. They only barely passed Final Selection by hiding for the entire week and surviving off tips from their older siblings. Nonetheless, they still want to contribute, which is why they hold onto a thick, leather bound book that records every demon they’ve ever met in precise detail, with labeled diagrams and scribbled calculations in the margins of different strengths and weaknesses.

After spending a few years on the job, and properly seeing their data contribute to the successes of other demon slayers, they’ve come a bit more into their own as a competent researcher and fighter, though they still do tend to request paired missions with friends and family to act more as a support role rather than a fighter.

The Ebisu family is one of scholars. The eldest daughter Kaoru is a doctor, and the eldest son Shougen is a chemist. By nature, fighting is not necessarily their strong suit, which is why their family breathing style and techniques are all poison-assisted. Of the three, Koharu is the weakest and most averse to combat— they wield a short half-length blade, with more of a smooth ceremonial hilt and sheath than any practical weapon.

we should start a collection of small things that helped us with adhd organisation and such, like literally the tiniest things, I'll start

hook for my keys right at the door, keys always go there, don't lose my keys anymore

Tray for meals/dishes, less crumbs everywhere from eating in places that aren't a table bc crumbs go on tray + can carry more dishes back to the kitchen at once so less dishes everywhere

Boxes. So many boxes. When cleaning up just put everything I don't immediately have a place for in box. Sort box later (or not). Mess is contained in box (for now)

How to invest into yourself

In the past 15 years, there as been so many tools and new age techniques to change yourself. All of them more and more complex than the one before. Either it is weird diet, or wall Pilates, there will always be new ways to improve yourself.

However, i had to look back into old traditional beauty tips that have proven effective and helpful. The beauty of those tips is that most of them can be done at home at a very low cost which i love.

So here is a list of things that i do to invest in myself.

Let’s start by the physical investement.

The biggest investment i did was with my teeth. I did Invisalign and now i have a million dollar smile. I understand that teeth are expensive but if you have a chance to do so, it is a long term change that you will not regret. Also Try to go to the dentist at least once a year for a clean up.

My new smile actually even changed my face and i love it.

If you cannot do invinsalign, you can definitely ensure that your teeth are white at all times. I used white strip ( the best one is crest Hollywood white stripe ) with whiting toothpaste! Do it twice a week and within a month your smile will look amazing.

After investing in my teeth, it came time to take care of my skin.

I needed to update my skin care but honestly , with time I realize that the real trick was to be constant and have a simple routine that is easy to follow. It is important to have good product but if you are not committed to the routine there is no point into investing in pricey skincare.

You need to start by understanding what kind of skin you have and base on that RESEARCH the type of product that will work for it.

I double wash my face, than toner, serum, moisturizer than face oil. While my face still look like a glazed doughnut, I will gua sha the fuck out of my face and luvvs Gua sha keeps my skin tight and young. So do not sleep on that.

I not only take face of my face skin but also my whole entire body. I will turn my bathroom into a spa once a week and do a good hammam session to my self. I will take a warm bath for a good 20min just to make sure that the scrubbing is smooth sailing. I would use Moroccan black soap to exfoliate my body. After the exfoliation, i would be taking a warm shower and moisturized my skin with natural shea butter. If you live in Canada, you can find great one at your local Marshall with body oil.

Making sure that i look good, i started getting those cutes fits that would make me feel like that girl, invest in quality product because i now wanted the best of the best for myself. I don’t mean to break a bag but definitely not being cheap with my self. So instead of being the cheapest option, let’s say i will be looking into things that match my budget but still are good. I will take more time researching for things instead of just getting the product that was just cheap.

There will be always many option of the same things so just taking an extra sec to look into those options is you investing into yourself. You cannot be the best version of yourself by doing the same thing and buying the same thing as before. You wont change by doing the same!

Now let’s talk about investing to our mental and confidence!

It all fun and game to look good but if you do feel good about yourself. All of this will be worth nothing.

If you can afford it and if needed, talking to a professional or life coach can be life changing. Learning new skills and making yourself some goals will build your confidence so fast.

Something that really help me feel better about myself was podcast. I would listen to a shit ton of self improvement podcast and it really help me see things differently and broaden my perspective on life. READING too was game changer. So far, since the beginning of this year, i have read 4 books so far and reading my 5th right now. I never felt so smart ! But you know what i mean. Keep learning , reading , journaling , it will keep your brain sharp!

Honestly the best kind of investment you can do for yourself is to invest TIME INTO YOURSELF. Whatever you decide to do, take time doing. Make time when you do your skin care, make time when you talk to yourself, make time for your workout, shopping, hair care, body care.

Just invest time into everything you do. Every time you will try to cheat and go the easy way, you will never win. YOU ARE REBUILDING YOURSELF AND IT WILL TAKE TIME!

Invest time into your budget, finance and you will be able to reach your goals!

Believe me when i say that i am a living proof of investing time into yourself will change/better the person that you are. The more i worked on my self the more i became the woman of my dream and I know you can do it too.

Xoxo cheeky

5 Ways Journaling Can Help You Write Your Novel

Every year, we’re lucky to have great sponsors for our nonprofit events. Day One, a 2023 NaNoWriMo sponsor, is an award-winning journaling app. Today, author and journaling expert Kristen Webb Wright shares a few tips on how journaling can help your creative writing:

Aspiring novelists often find themselves on a challenging journey to bring their stories to life. The blank page can be intimidating, and writer's block can strike at any moment. However, there's a powerful tool that can help you overcome these hurdles and fuel your novel-writing dreams: journaling. 

Journaling is more than just recording daily events or jotting down your thoughts—it's a practice that can supercharge your creative process and sharpen your storytelling skills. In fact, numerous famous writers kept journals or diaries throughout their lives, using their personal chronicles to cultivate their literary masterpieces

 Here are five ways journaling can help you write your novel:

1. Draw Inspiration from Everyday Life

Novel writing often draws inspiration from the events and experiences of everyday life. Use your journal to document intriguing encounters, interesting conversations, or even mundane moments that can be woven into your story. Everyday life is a treasure trove of material for creating relatable and authentic narratives. Your journal can serve as a repository of these real-life gems.

2. A Private Space to Explore Ideas

Journaling offers a unique and private sanctuary where you can explore your wildest ideas without judgment or fear of criticism. It's a space where you can experiment with unconventional plot twists, quirky characters, or daring themes. Since your journal is for your eyes only, you can be completely honest and uninhibited in your exploration, allowing your creativity to soar to new heights.

3. Overcome Writer’s Block

Writer's block is a formidable adversary for novelists, but journaling can be your secret weapon to defeat it. When you're stuck, turn to your journal and simply write. Pour out your frustrations, write about your day, or describe your surroundings. The act of writing, even if it's unrelated to your novel, can kickstart your creativity and get the words flowing. Journaling serves as a safe space where you can experiment, break through creative barriers, and rediscover your writing flow.

4. Develop and Organize Plots and Character Details 

A well-organized plot is crucial for a successful novel. Journaling can help you outline and structure your story effectively. Use your journal to jot down plot ideas, timelines, and chapter summaries. Create mind maps or visual diagrams to visualize your story's progression. The act of putting your novel's elements on paper will help you maintain a clear and organized narrative as you write.

5. Track Progress and Set Goals

Writing a novel is a significant undertaking, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Journaling provides a space for tracking your progress and setting achievable goals. Record your daily or weekly word counts, celebrate milestones, and reflect on your writing journey. You can even use your journal to set writing goals and deadlines. It's a motivational tool that keeps you accountable and focused on completing your novel.

Journaling is a versatile and invaluable tool for aspiring novelists. So, why not pick up your journal and start harnessing its power to write the novel you've always dreamed of? Every word you write in your journal is a step closer to bringing your story to life.

Start your journaling journey today, and watch your novel flourish like never before. Happy writing!

What to say when a woman loses her baby:

Towards the end of EMT school, we did our obstetrics unit. I asked my instructor...

"What do you do when the baby doesn't make it or is DOA? Like what do you say?"

"I worked as a Paramedic for 19 years, and I never found out the answer to that question. I have watched a number of women lose their babies and the answer to that question never presented itself. All I know is that whatever you say, never say 'I understand.' Say 'I am right beside you if you need me.' or 'I am so sorry for your loss', but do not ever say that you understand."
