journal prompts to ACTUALLY understand yourself (using the archetypes)

[@walkingexistentialdread8520]

**The creator** What do you want your legacy to be? Do you think you're creative? Why/why not? How do you think you could cultivate creativity/out of the box thinking? Do you have a burning life passion? Do you think you'd be more fulfilled chasing your passion or finding balance? Are you a perfectionist? **The lover** Do you think you're a sensitive person? Do you feel like you act impulsively? When was the last time you were heartbroken? **The magician** When was the time in your life when you were manipulative? Do you think the universe is working in your favor? What's something that you wish you could change? **The caregiver** Who's someone in your life that relies on you? In what capacity? Who's someone in your life that you rely on for support? In what capacity? Who's someone online that you rely on for support? In what capacity? What's an area in your life that you give too much of yourself to? **The sage** Who's someone that's taught you something that has had a profound impact on you? What's a topic that you wish you were more knowledgeable about? **The everyman ** What's a skill that you think you're completely average at? What's the oldest object that you own in your life and still use everyday? **The hero** What's the bravest thing you've done? What's the area in your life you're too prideful/egoistic in? **The jester** Do you think you're funny/lighthearted? Do you think you take things too seriously? How have you found humor in a very serious situation? **The rebel** What's the time in your life that you stood up for yourself? What's the time in your life that you stood up for another person? What's the time that you should have stood up for someone, but didn't? Why? **The innocent** What area of life are you naive about? What's a topic of conversation that you don't like to talk about/shy away from? What's something that you think is really cool? /fills you with childlike wonder? **The ruler** Do you personally feel a responsibility to yourself and the world around you? Why? Why not? If you had the power to impact change, would you do a good job? Do you think it's more important to maintain stability, or embrace change? **The explorer** What's an area of life where you take the most risk?

[@Koincydencje]

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!

[@dreamingofthemoontonight]

Thank you for taking the time to type these out!

[@nai96160]

Thank you so much ❤❤

[@plswatchinfinitytrain]

Youre amazing

[@coffeerain]

Thank you ❤

[@morganrooke3104]

this is incredible, thank you!

[@Yipper64]

Interesting video. It feels like the questions start off strong but peter out pretty quickly, by the end the explorer archetype basically just having the one question.

[@rupnishadas9814]

Too many people give vague advice like “start a journal” This is actually helpful and a beautifully laid out plan. Thank you for this ❤

[@sofiamasi3823]

Can you do a tour of all your notebooks, skechbook or commonplacebook plisss🐛

[@ilikefroggies]

also maybe a good prompt for the caregiver ? - in what ways do you show up for others you dont for yourself ?

[@jiungsglasses2971]

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 :))

[@CatHelicopter]

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

[@shreyasi1150]

What's the update? Were these prompts helpful in better understanding yourself and who you want to be?

[@roseyarriaga5849]

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

[@bibianar1493]

Heellaw~~ do you mind telling me the chariot would equal to which archetype?? So sorry for bad language.. English isnt my first language 😅

[@aur-2001]

Tarot is not science. You cannot combine those professionally. Just for fun in your personal life. I say this with all the respect 🤗

[@smileykun6057]

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!😄

[@night_xylo]

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.

[@julianna0101]

This is such an interesting way to approach self discovery through journaling, thank you! I especially love is as a psychology student :)

[@land_of_night]

I started with these last week! I'm currently on the magician and so far I've been loving the experience or writing under some type of concept or premise. I'm getting the feeling I'll learn so much from this, thanks!! This is also making me fall in love with writing a lot more! xoxo

[@spooked4812]

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 :)

[@ilikefroggies]

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

[@CarolineClark-co6gb]

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

[@24tommyst]

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.

[@LaytonObserves]

Big Jung admirer. Stealing these questions for later. Love the video

[@tulip135]

Just a quick question - what am I supposed to do with my answers to these questions (if anything)? Or rather, what’s the desired outcome of this experiment?

[@cuteprograstinator9970]

I think it is to understand yourself better and expose habits or trains of thought you often indulge in. By doing that, you can better see what aspects of your life you need to change and how to do that. It might be easier to tell when you indulge in a harmfull way of thinking after answering these questions. By seeing them black on white it´ll be a lot harder to justify doing things that can harm yourself. It can also showcase what areas you need to put more/less energy in. Hope this helps!

[@medhahaha]

So do we have to answer the questions of all archetypes?

[@friendlygrotesque2941]

hey crystal, just found you yesterday and you seem like a very interesting person! im gonna stay here for longer for sure. can i ask what you studied in collegue? i know you graduated already but i wonder what was your major :) and are you using your education in your job now, as a post grad?

[@atrophyyx]

Starting this today (6/28), wrote down all the questions, I'll write my updates in the comments

[@frzsunset]

Man the caregiver was so accurate for me 🙃 I'm gonna be spending a lot of time introspecting on those questions

[@jiungsglasses2971]

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

[@Choompam]

Sheesh, these are amazing questions to ask ourselves. Great work!

[@bruh-rc1ww]

LUV UUUU GURL. THE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH AND TIME THIS MIGHT HAVE TAKEN BROO GOOD JOB.

[@JD-hh6ck]

I love your voice and the vibe in general. It’s so calming 🧚‍♀️

[@leslie5296]

i love specific guides, thank you

[@robskitlz4391]

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. ?

[@888_crystal]

egon schiele is one of my favorite artists of all time i cant believe i didnt know he and gustav klimt were friends

[@robskitlz4391]

@@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. 😁

[@Huhhuhwhuhuhh]

as someone who is in love with all things Jungian, I really appreciate this prompt. Thank you!

[@ilikefroggies]

JUST WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR THANK YOU SM !!!

[@oniibxtch270]

Thank you for this

[@divinelymoowah6104]

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 😳🥰

[@MissSherlock90]

Im a magician 😢

[@coco_mficicsi]

If I don't have answers for a specific archetype, how would I go about changing that ? If u know

[@auronirahman2837]

I think these types of questions can be answered by anybody. If you can't find answers, maybe try looking inwards and seeing if there are some beliefs and attitudes you hold that is blocking you from forming the right answers? Sometimes our own mind doesn't want us to unpack things. Everyone embodies qualities of the archetypes in some ways. I'm sure you can answer them, these are all about *you*! there is no right or wrong answer. These questions are exercises in knowing yourself. Even if you ramble off-topic you can find something valuable in your answers :)

[@hatsunebeeku9113]

really enjoyed this video! eager to get to my journal and go through these prompts.

[@pearl474]

THANK YOU I discovered thing about myself that i never realized i had i feel good about myself now after a time of unworthiness and feeling lost

[@LeviH-p7s]

Thank you for these prompts, I've felt didn't like the Myers Briggs test bc answers are subject to change overtime. These archetypes are more related to reflect on. ❤

[@faitavecamour-zl]

this is awesome definately doing it appreciate your content thank you for sharing

[@iSoldierPanda]

thanks pookie :)

[@amaya9576]

The magician was so ON POINT it really resonated

[@hindsaeed3328]

[@lypaerin922]

[@coldyume]

[@luciaparker2511]

What Saoirse Ronan movie was that? 10:38

[@888_crystal]

little women

[@bookzdotmedia]

Excellent!

[@lalasecretly]

I love your content

[@z_brfn]

this is exactly what I needed, thank you 🩷

[@flwersmillie]

is it sad that i didnt have an answer to like any of the questions?

[@auronirahman2837]

maybe you do have an answer, it might just be one your mind isn't willing to admit yet. lots of us hold things that don't serve us and just cloud our senses and our introspection. I hope you can work through whatever is blocking you :) there is no right answer. it just is. if you dig enough you will find something, however lots of people are uncomfortable with that and that's okay. you can change that and know and appreciate yourself a little more every day :)

[@MissSherlock90]

No, that’s the point, that you think about it.

[@bedhead-studio]

You have to take your time with finding them. You can try and find answers that you know are not true. You can also think about if they would be true to someone you know and compare.
