Pen down an emotion that often resides in your shadow – an emotion you feel but NEVER express.

“Jungian psychology states that the shadow self is our less desirable aspects that we would rather not face. But confronting them can be profoundly healing. Reflect on an emotion you feel frequently but never express, perhaps anger, jealousy, or fear. Explore instances where this emotion emerges, how you suppress it, and whether repression of it might be affecting you in unforeseen ways. This prompt encourages self-discovery, vulnerability and acceptance of one’s full emotional spectrum.”
