Yeah, so light work is about leaning into your gifts, your strengths, learning how to rebuild your sense of self after you've done the deep digging and inner work that can often like shake us, fragment us and question who we are.

So it's a very important grounding practice to rebuild your sense of self, learn what your values are, if they've changed throughout the process, throughout your life experiences.

and live out and share the wisdom that you've gained after doing the deep inner work.

After going through a period of going to therapy, there comes a time when it's okay, I'm ready to be on the other side of this.

And this is what the light work practice enables people to do.

When I first wrote the shadow work journal, I started it the same way and it concretes things.

It makes things real.

When you write something down, it solidifies the intention.

So I wanted to lay out this intention for others to take as their own and imprinted on their world, on their life journey.

and it allowed me to really seek some help that i had been putting on the wayside have you heard other readers of your work tell you stories like this absolutely there's so many and when i think about putting down daily intentions i think about the 369 journal which is another book that i've released and this has been a daily ritual for me

For years and years, so it looks like this and you basically write your intention three six and nine times and then you also write down the inspired actions that you're going to take throughout the day to honor that intention.

I think.

The way we wanna show up during the day is productive and optimized, but there's other ways to show up too, like being inspired, fulfilling what matters to you that day.

So it's all great examples.

Absolutely.

And that's a great example.

So much of shadow work is looking at your past and doing inner work.

And when we are small and children, something seemingly minuscule might happen, whether it's a parent telling you to put your pen and colors away or being quiet, that all gets stuffed in.

in the shadow and even though it seemed like a small event the feelings there were very big for the child and those feelings we carry throughout our lives and they get stuffed in this bag baggage and that becomes the weight that we sometimes feel and can't explain so it's really part of this investigation pinpointing

Where does this come from?
