Envision a conversation between you and your shadow self. Discuss the negative traits you wish to let go of in this new year.

Carl Jung posited the concept of the ‘Shadow Self’, representing parts of us that we don’t like or deny. This imaginative exercise asks you to personify your own shadow self, bringing forward traits deemed negative or unwelcome. Use this dialogue to understand these traits better, addressing their sources, their influences on your behavior, and plans to diminish their hold over you.
