Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2024
- i give you a set of journaling / writing/ reflection prompts that if you work through, will actually give you a well-rounded and holistic understanding of yourself as a person. reflect on your life and how you see yourself and how others see you and your experience in the world based on the idea of archetypes by carl jung- but only very vaguely inspired based on the tropes. not an actual good descriptor of his ideas i recommend you check out his work for yourself if interested

oh i am so thankful for that. I was about to rewatch to note everything down, but now my journaling session can start right away. thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to type these out!
Thank you so much ❤❤
Youre amazing
Thank you ❤
Too many people give vague advice like “start a journal”
This is actually helpful and a beautifully laid out plan. Thank you for this ❤
Can you do a tour of all your notebooks, skechbook or commonplacebook plisss🐛
THIS IS SO HELPFUL since I just took the "get to know yourself" and "you don't have to perform" points from your commonplace book seriously and started one about a week ago :))
i've really been struggling with 'finding myself' (whatever that means) and figuring out who I want to be. I'm soo excited to try this it came at the perfect time
Ngl, wasn't going to do this...but after watching the video, I'm going to find time to do this. I was trying to think of moments in my life that answered some of these as I was watching.
I don’t know if you ever thought about this, but you could totally make this as an interactive journal and sell it online! I’m sure many people would find it useful!😄
This is such an interesting way to approach self discovery through journaling, thank you! I especially love is as a psychology student :)
there are so many journal prompts i just dont like or i can’t get into but i really liked these prompts and they were actually interesting and they provoked thought in my mind. i wanted to answer them as soon as i heard them because my brain instantly thought of an answer to write. these linked to stuff in my life and resonated with me rather than other journal prompts that seem like theyre “mindful/mediation” ish vibes so thank you for this :)
Interesting idea! I used to like the MBTI but never looked into Jung's subconscious stuff much. That part of the mind is the most mysterious and also the biggest part of ourselves. I'm starting to become fascinated with it as I get older.
wonderful wonderful video!! i struggle w journal prompts sometimes (they're usually either vague & cliche or they box me in), but these were very introspective and truly made me examine some blindspots of mine
i love specific guides, thank you
also maybe a good prompt for the caregiver ? - in what ways do you show up for others you dont for yourself ?
JUST WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR THANK YOU SM !!!
okay so i tried some of these and i realized that i always tried to write poetry about the stuff which came up but never truly acknowledged what it was until now!!!
I DONT KNOW IF IT MAKES SENSE BUT I LOVE THESE
Big Jung admirer. Stealing these questions for later. Love the video
Thank you for these things, they are great prompts. I look forward to more journaling tips from you!
Sheesh, these are amazing questions to ask ourselves. Great work!
The magician was so ON POINT it really resonated
lovely video and prompts focusing on archetypes and providing a more overall view for those who will actually journal their answers and read it over 😳🥰
Thank you eternally for this! ❤
Hi! I study psych and i also read tarot. its quite interesting how much carl jung's work can be found in the rider waite deck, especially the major arcana
Heellaw~~ do you mind telling me the chariot would equal to which archetype?? So sorry for bad language.. English isnt my first language 😅
This video is so well done! You ate gurlll
ty for this video, im not journaling but i like your voice and listening to this while i got ready helped me think about the kind of person i am and want to be
thank u so much for this video, these prompts are very inspiring!!
this is awesome definately doing it appreciate your content thank you for sharing
Love these kinda vids
woww really great video crystal! thanks for sharing :D
Thanks! Thats a great topic. Im writing rn the lover phase.
Thanks for sharing this ❤
this is brilliant
Man the caregiver was so accurate for me 🙃 I'm gonna be spending a lot of time introspecting on those questions
it's really weird but your sentence was written so beautifully in a weird way, probably because of the word "introspecting"- I've never heard that before since I'm not necessarily fluent in English / it's not my first language, but it's so pretty hahah
I love your content
Excellent!
Starting this today (6/28), wrote down all the questions, I'll write my updates in the comments
If I don't have answers for a specific archetype, how would I go about changing that ? If u know
this is the coolest shit ever thank uuuuuu
thanks pookie :)
I love where your mind goes. You make the most interesting videos. I hope you are great. I also would be interested in seeing more of your art and notebooks and sketchbooks. Love that you showed art from one of my favorite artists. Gustav K. Do you like his best friend Egon S. ?
egon schiele is one of my favorite artists of all time i cant believe i didnt know he and gustav klimt were friends
@@888_crystal Yes they were best friends and Gustav was always trying to express how good Egon was to others in their time. For some reason Gustav was always looked upon more favorably than Egon, but not out of want, for Gustav. There are images of them together. I'm so glad that you like Egon, he is also one of my favorites. 😁
What Saoirse Ronan movie was that? 10:38
