I love this prompt, working with our shadow self helps to overcome anxiety and doubts that can fill us with such sorrow + pain. Keep on creating and inspiring us 💜🌈🎨📓

Thank you so much for sharing your way of dealing with strong emotions! I usually struggle with them or just try to ignore the difficult ones. I will definitely try this method!
