10 Journaling Prompts For Self-Care

As we start the new year it's important for us to nurture our mental health. With all the overstimulation we go through during the holiday season sometimes it's difficult for us to care for our mental health and our own needs.

A great way to get back into the groove of self-care is to journal. Journaling is a beautiful and safe space where you can be honest with yourself without any judgment from others. I encourage you to grab a cup of coffee/tea or even a glass of wine and connect back to your self-care by using some or all of the following prompts.

“Journaling is a beautiful and safe space where you can be honest with yourself without any judgement from others."

We're sharing 10 journaling prompts for self-care that'll allow you to connect back to yourself after such a busy month of December:

1. In what ways can I take care of myself after such a busy month of December?

2. What things do I enjoy doing for myself? How will I incorporate more of them this year coming up?

3. Write one affirmation that you need right now. How would it feel to truly believe this affirmation?

4. What things do you want to do this year to nurture more of your soul?

5. What is one thing that you need to forgive yourself for? How can you find more compassion for yourself?

6. Write a letter thanking yourself for the way you show up even when it's difficult.

7. What is a short-term self-love goal that you have for yourself this year? How will you hold yourself accountable for making it happen?

8. How would you describe the way you currently feel about yourself?

9. What limiting beliefs are holding you back from being confident? How can you rewrite that story?

10. What things did you do last year that made you proud of yourself?

Remember that these prompts are meant for you to nurture yourself so take your time with them and answer them as honestly and openly as possible.

We hope that these prompts help you reconnect a bit more with yourself and that this year brings you more self-love than you've ever imagined.
