It’s easy to be lazy when it comes to our personal growth and development. We can all find excuses to procrastinate when it comes to doing the “shadow work” that is necessary for true transformation.

But if we want to heal our traumas and transform our lives, we have to be willing to do whatever it takes to identify our triggers and work through them. This might mean doing some research into our past to uncover what childhood trauma might have started it all.

It’s not easy work, but it’s so worth it. When we do the shadow work, we can start to see the areas of our lives that need healing. We can also start to understand our triggers and how to deal with them in a more constructive way.

If you’re ready to do the shadow work, here are some tips to get you started:

1. Get clear on what your intentions are.

Before you start digging into your past, it’s important to get clear on what your intentions are. What do you hope to achieve by doing this work? What do you want to learn about yourself?

Getting clear on your intentions will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the process.

2. Do some research.

If you’re not sure where to start, do some research on shadow work and childhood trauma. There are plenty of books and articles out there that can help you understand the concept and how it might apply to your life.

3. Identify your triggers.

One of the most important parts of shadow work is identifying your triggers. What are the things that set off your negative emotions or reactions?

Once you know what your triggers are, you can start to work on dealing with them in a more constructive way.

4. Do the work.

This is where the real work begins. It’s not always easy, but it’s so worth it.

Start by journaling about your experiences and emotions. This can help you to process and understand them better. You can also talk to a therapist or counselor about what you’re going through.

5. Be patient with yourself.

Shadow work can be a long and difficult process. It’s important to be patient with yourself and go at your own pace.

If you find yourself getting overwhelmed or stuck, take a break and come back to it when you’re ready.

Doing shadow work is an important step in our personal growth and development. It’s not always easy, but it’s so worth it. If you’re ready to do the work, these tips will help you get started.
