If you are looking for the 50 best journal prompts for self love to help you feel more loving, then you have come to the right place!
Hey my friend,
I have always, always loved journalling before it was even a real thing.
Weirdly enough I used to call it a diary when I was a kid, even though there is a distinct difference between the two.
Many people assume a diary is the same thing as a journal but here’s how to tell the two apart:
A diary is a book to record events as they happen.
A journal on the other hand is a record of significant experiences and used to explore ideas that take shape.
Funnily enough a journal is MUCH MORE PERSONAL than a diary because it contains feelings, emotions, problems and reflections that can be used to evaluate one’s life.
Let’s imagine both books are like the sea.
The diary is just the surface level stuff you see, almost like floating on top of the water while a journal is much like a deep-sea diver – it goes way deeper and explores everything that can’t be seen by someone sitting nearby on the beach.
There is so much power in journalling.
I refer to it as the cheapest form of therapy because it is so therapeutic to perform a brain-dump.
Imagine your mind much like a messy bag at the end of the day. Writing in your journal and performing a brain dump is much like emptying out the contents onto a table.
Once it is all spilled out, you can then discard the rubbish, the stress, the negative thoughts and work out what you need to keep in order to have a healthier and happier mind. I cannot recommend doing these activities enough!
The journal prompts you will find in this series truly have the power to work magic in your life.
Remember – there are no rules when it comes to using these journal prompts.
Just write whatever comes to mind.
You do not have to write anything perfectly – whatever comes out is exactly what needs to come out. Please don’t judge it – just let it be!
I REPEAT – There is no right or wrong way to use these journal prompts for self love – just YOUR OWN UNIQUE WAY.
