The Best Journaling Prompts For Self-Love

Self-love is a really important concept that can be overlooked when working with the law of attraction. Self-love is the foundation to manifesting all that you want. If you don’t feel worthy of good things, then you will push them away and it will be hard to manifest what you want.

Journaling for self-love is a powerful tool to help you connect with yourself and develop a deeper level of self-worth.

Journaling is a safe way to express yourself without having to share how you feel with anyone else. You can be as open as possible when journaling for self-love and really begin to cultivate those feelings of self-worth for yourself.

Benefits of Self-Love

There are many benefits of self-love that go beyond just feeling good. When you love yourself, your whole life changes. You don’t sabotage the good things that come in, you know you deserve good things, you trust that you can manifest them, and you don’t accept less than you deserve.

Loving yourself shapes how you act, think, and feel every day. When you truly feel worthy you make choices from an empowered state vs. a disempowered state.

Here’s an example of someone who lacks self-love and someone who loves themselves completely.

Person 1 – Lacks Self-Love

This person gets offered a huge raise at work. They don’t feel like they’ve done enough to deserve it though. So, they begin to overcompensate by arriving early and staying late. They start to take on more projects than they can handle because they need to prove that they deserve this raise they were just offered.

Their home relationships suffer because they are always at the office trying to prove themselves.

They start to develop physical pain because they are so stressed from all the work. They seek out medical remedies that cost them money. The money they’ve now spent trying to maintain themselves is the same as the raise they received plus their family relationships are suffering. They do all this to prove their worth.

Person 2 – Loves Themselves

This person is offered the same raise. They know they deserve it and are proud of themselves for receiving it. They are happy and feel good about themselves.

This translates over to their family relationships. They feel so good and are in such an overflow that they are extra supportive and caring to their family. They nurture their relationships because they aren’t as worried about money after their big raise and have more focus and attention to give to their family.

They can now afford to go to a good gym and take care of themselves. They de-stress from work in a healthy way by working out and they feel amazing. They continue to do a good job at work, but they don’t overcompensate. They just do the best they can while at their job. They are excited about the next raise they will receive.

Why Journaling Helps You with Self-Love

You likely have heard a million times that you need to love yourself to manifest what you want. While this is somewhat true there is a lot more to it than that. Of course, you can manifest without being completely in love with yourself! You manifest every single day.

However, when you feel that deep love for yourself things really do go smoother for you, and don’t sabotage the things you do manifest because you don’t feel worthy. So, it absolutely helps to develop it at a deeper level. But of course, you can create things even if you don’t unconditionally love yourself yet.

You likely have some areas that are working better in your life than others. The ones that aren’t working as well are the ones you’ll want to look at journaling about because they are the ones where you likely have a mixed vibration.

Journaling for self-love helps you to understand yourself more. It helps you to see just why you are worthy and how to develop a better relationship with yourself. It helps you to see where you are holding yourself back and where you may be sabotaging something in your life because you don’t feel worthy.

Often, you aren’t always aware of why things are happening the way they are. Journaling for self-love helps you to see the patterns and what is going on at a deeper level. It helps you get into your subconscious mind which is controlling much of your life and pull-out things that you may not have seen before.

How to Journal for Self-Love

Take some time when you know you won’t be interrupted and it’s quiet in your house to begin your journaling for self-love prompts.

Make sure that you don’t feel rushed, and you give your full attention to your self-love journaling. If you want to meditate before you do them, you can but you don’t have to.

Take a couple of big breaths and focus on your heart when you do these. Try to not think too much but feel the answers that are within you.

Final Thoughts – Journaling for Self-Love

Journaling for self-love is a really great way to get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper. When you hold onto things for too long that want to come out, it can be uncomfortable for you and your physical body. Thoughts want to be expressed!

If you don’t feel like sharing your thoughts with someone else, then journaling is a great, private way to say what’s on your mind.

After journaling for self-love, you will feel lighter and more connected to yourself. You will see things that you didn’t see before and maybe even have a few ‘lightbulb’ moments that show you something you didn’t understand before. Journaling is a really great, healthy way to understand yourself and express your feelings.
