Journaling is an incredibly powerful tool for many things, including self-love. It can be a daily practice you turn into a habit or ritual where you consistently build up your feelings of self-worth, esteem, and confidence. It’s an amazing feeling to have a notebook full of words that are generally positive about your mind, body, and life which can remind you of your awesomeness just by looking at it! It can also be a tool for dealing with depression.
I made you a list of different kinds of self love writing prompts which can be used in any way you decide. You can answer them in a notebook, in an art journal, on a Word document, or in an Instagram caption. The possibilities for how you express your thoughts and feelings to these concepts and questions are endless, and I’m really excited at the thought of you using them. By the way, I write for me too!
Speaking of which, I’m going to be starting a new series where twice a month I’ll share one person’s response to one of the following prompts. Are you interested in being featured on Uncustomary? If so, please send me an e-mail (mary@uncustomary.org) with the subject “Self Love Writing Prompts” and let me know which prompt you’re interested in writing about. I’ll respond with more specifics, like what exactly I’d need from you.
This is first come first serve, so if someone claims your prompt before you, you’ll have to choose another one. Same goes with the order in which the posts will be published. Remember there’s only two slots a month, so the sooner you e-mail me, the sooner we can get your post up! Alright! That said, let’s get into the good stuff.
