Slow, searching prompts for you or your journal.
How do you handle the feeling of shame?
Introspection is a deck you can play alone. Which emotion do you avoid the most? What is your body's first sign of stress? Where are you hardest on yourself? Do you know how to receive love?
To use a card as a journal prompt, write about it for ten minutes, then note one thing you will do differently this week. The cards also work with a partner or close friend, taking turns to answer. If a question stirs up more than you want to handle alone, bring it to someone you trust.
