I once used an affiramtion deck for journaling on a whim. I originally thought there would be nothing much to write about, but I wrote for hours 🤌🏽 I didn’t realize how much I was thinking about and how many different emotions I had if I hadn’t written 👓 I wrote slowly and slowly saw clearly my state and inner world at that time. After writing, I began to reset my goals and implementation methods. Looking back now, I feel that it is much clearer after organizing it in this way! Once you have a clear mind, your emotions will be more stable! So if you don’t know where to start, the cards are a good tool to guide you to discover your true inner thoughts👯
Let's talk about what's so special about this deck, and how it can help us talk to ourselves first🤪
1️⃣ Every quote and every card is designed through the five aspects of the "Big Five Personality"🎨
When the "quantity" of one of our aspects is particularly high, it will be more attractive than the cards belonging to that aspect! There are corresponding English letters on the back of the cards. Through this guiding method, we can understand ourselves and our current state in many aspects🧘🏽♀️
[Is it still a little unclear how this deck of cards incorporates the Big Five Personality Traits from psychology? 🌞】
In fact, this deck of cards has a special way to play to help us understand ourselves better! First, pick (not draw!) 5-10 cards that you feel are good and you think they are a good match, then look at the English letters on their backs 🔠
After choosing, go read the guidebook! Find the corresponding English letter, and then you will see a table 📊 Find the right card for you, and then look at the "status/strength" represented by this card 🩵
It doesn't matter whether the reflection is high or low! Because this chart is not used to test whether you are strong or not🙅🏽♀️, its purpose is to reflect your current state/in this matter, waiting for you to [understand yourself] through text and images 🫂 In fact, knowing it may not solve the urgent problems immediately, but in this process of self-dialogue, you can learn to accept your emotions, and pay more attention to your own (emotional) needs, and it will not be too late to find ways to improve it later✨
Little knowledge🔍: The Big Five personality theory, also known as the ocean of personality (OCEAN)✨
O - Openness, C - Conscientiousness, E - Extroversion, A - Agreeableness, N - Neuroticism
2️⃣ Illustrations for healing! cute! Colouful! 😆
Each card is a different dog, and each dog shows different personality traits🐶 I know everyone likes colorful and bright cards, so this deck should be good for you XD If you want to know what lucky dog there is, you have to wait until you receive the deck prophet hehe
3️⃣ The message is straightforward and easy to understand!
Don't think that he looks cute, in fact, he is quite profound. XD In addition to the Chinese and English translations of the golden sentences on the cards, there are also devil cards and angel cards.
Angel card: "Sending light and love to you! Sending light and love to you!", Devil card: "This is not mean, I am telling the truth!"
-> Angel is the style of chicken soup for the soul, and Devil card will have some negative energy and sharp tongue feel😹 No matter it is Angel or Devil card, every sentence can be linked to different small fragments in life, so it should resonate well when you draw it!
So why are there two versions? Because everyone is motivated differently, some people may not like love and light, but would rather be mean. Just tell them the facts first to help them.
Finally, I would like to share a few words from psychological counselor Wu Dianheng🌱
“Seeing our strengths or weaknesses is never about giving in to our inertia, but about consciously trying to balance these abilities.”
