Lights & shadows in me cards - Slow down Life

Lights & shadows in me cards

Why does someone annoy or charm you - and what does that say about you? What do you deny yourself but allow others? Or vice versa?

Get to know yourself more deeply 

Each of us has both light and shadows. Get to know your different sides with the help of trait cards.

The deck contains 40 double-sided trait cards and 10 different games to help you increase your self-awareness.

By studying your different traits and their opposites, you learn to see new sides in yourself and others: Why does someone annoy or charm you - and what does that say about you? What do you deny yourself but allow others? Or vice versa?

The lights and shadows in me cards are intended to increase your self-knowledge. You can look at your own traits and their opposites and the meanings you give them. With the help of the cards, you can become aware of why some people perhaps cause you uncomfortable feelings and why you feel drawn to others.

The self of each of us consists of numerous different features. Traits are part of our personality, and it is influenced by, among other things, our upbringing and the environment in which we live.

Each trait also has its opposite, its polarity. There is no slow without fast, no happy without serious.

No trait is absolutely good or bad, because we ourselves give them meaning. The meanings are influenced by our upbringing and, for example, the culture in which we live: certain traits are perceived as virtues and their opposites are therefore not always allowed. But each of our traits has advantages and disadvantages in some situations. When we recognize and accept our traits and their opposites, we have more choices in life and thus our lives can be more fulfilling, not narrowed.

These cards are for you who…

...you feel that you are somehow wrong and want to hide features that you consider weaknesses or "bad sides"

...you want to accept yourself as you are and get to know yourself more deeply: also the aspects you have not thought about before

...you want to understand how your upbringing and environment have influenced the traits that you perceive as "good" or "bad" in yourself

...you want to reflect on the positive meanings of your own or another's "bad sides" in a way that increases understanding and acceptance rather than judgment

…you want to understand your judgmental inner speech and/or surprising emotional reactions to some people

...you want to deepen understanding and acceptance in your relationship - you want to understand even those aspects of yourself that you find difficult to reveal to yourself and others, but they bring an inner burden

...you notice that you have a hard time tolerating certain types of people, e.g. at work or in your hobbies

...you find yourself annoyed by a character trait of a family member or friend that you find difficult to accept

…you want to learn to see the influence of your own parents on your attitudes and the meanings you give to different traits.

...you want to learn to see the reasons for the emergence of a conflict or dispute and learn to find constructive bridges between the parties to the dispute.

…you want to learn to see aspects of the roles in your life that may have become a burden to you.
