Are you looking to focus on yourself more and boost your self-esteem and promote self-discovery? Do you think journaling for self-love is something you want to try but you don’t know where to start? If the answer is yes, then you have definitely come to the right place. If you are wondering how to start a self-love journal, you can free write your entries or you can use journaling prompts. These give you a more structured approach to you writing and are a great place to begin. I have compiled a list of 60 brilliant self-love journaling prompts to get you started.

In a previous post “Good mental health tips – Blissful release of writing a journal” I talked about what a journal is and why you should write one. In that post I talked about how keeping a daily journal can benefit you in so many ways, for example it can help you to empty your mind of any worries or stresses before you go to sleep.

“Self-love journaling prompts changed the way I look at my life”

Writing a journal can be used to help you clarify events of the day and see things more clearly. You can also use a journal to keep a log of the daily events in a particular stage of your life purely for reference purposes. It’s nice to have them when you want to look back and make comparisons or purely reminisce.

There are so many reasons why people do keep journals and often the contents of those journals can come across as being quite negative. A lot of you use them to record bad things that happened to you during the day partly because you just want to be able to tell somebody.

We all know it helps to talk about these things and you may like to treat your diary as a friend who can keep a secret. “Dear Diary”. This is a really good idea and can benefit you hugely, however, have you ever considered starting a journal entry in a positive way to promote self-love. To give yourself a reminder that you are an incredibly awesome person!
