Beyond the Workbook: DIY Shadow Work Prompts and Practices
Guided shadow work journals, like the viral ones on TikTok, are helpful
Shadow work journals have become hugely popular—but while guided prompts are a great start, they can only take you so far. True transformation begins when you start creating your own prompts and practices based on your personal patterns, triggers, and wounds.
This blog will guide you through 20 powerful DIY prompts and deeper tools designed to help you integrate what you uncover rather than staying stuck in endless reflection.
Why DIY Prompts Go Deeper
Guided shadow work journals, like the viral ones on TikTok, are helpful—but they’re intentionally general to reach a wider audience. Your shadow, however, is deeply personal. DIY prompts enable you to tailor your journaling to your specific triggers, delve beyond surface-level patterns, and cultivate emotional awareness based on your unique lived experiences, validating your individual journey.
DIY prompts allow you to:
• Tailor your journaling to specific triggers
• Go beyond surface-level patterns
• Build emotional awareness based on your lived experience
• Integrate insights instead of endlessly analysing them
