29 Journal Prompts for Unshakeable Self Confidence
this practice is a deep work, a healing process through the power of journaling.
in many ways i came into the world absolutely beaming with confidence and purpose. I have an uncannily clear memory of being toddler-aged, running around repeating to myself “I have a purpose! I’ve got this! Let’s do this thing!!!” I was the type of child who went up to strangers, telling them hello and always wanting to make new friends. and I was doing musical theater from the age of 2… and I considered the stage to be my home, I absolutely adored it (and I still do)
but somewhere between the hormones of the tween years and the social pressures of the teenage years, coupled with the depression, the comparison, the anxiety, and the everything in between — confidence was no longer something that came to me like a pure flowing river from my spirit. it was like it was buried deep somewhere deep within me, crushed under the weight of a million reasons why I should not love myself and should not see myself as worthy.
I struggled an incredible amount in my adolescent years to see myself as enough, as worthy, as valuable. due to trauma I was hard-wired to run straight into lion dens, straight into the hands of demons who couldn’t wait for the chance to tell me how truly worthless and not enough I was.
and overtime, my confidence suffered.
but guess fucking what.
I got it back.
because its mine. and I was most definitely not going to let the world take it from me.
because I belong to me, and I am going to pour deep love into myself, even when the world did not offer me pure love freely.
because I don’t believe confidence is something you have to fight for, it’s just something you have to love yourself enough to turn on.
so lets get into it shall we? you and me. this is 29 journal prompts for unshakeable self confidence. wherever you are in your relationship to your worth, your self love, and your confidence, these prompts will find you there. and I am so excited for you to plant seeds that are sure to bear beautiful fruit. from the words of the little girl within me: “Let’s do this thing!!!”
before we begin — these prompts are meant to guide you through a journey.
we’ll start by reconnecting with the confidence that already lives within you, move through understanding what may have dimmed it, and then gently rebuild it through self-love, trust, and aligned action.
take your time, move at your own pace, and meet yourself with honesty and care ♡
✧ COMING HOME TO YOURSELF
Begin by writing a message of love to yourself, like an affirmation or a promise.
I want us to start with this moment of self love, because i’m going to be bringing us through a bit of deep work — in other words, we’ll be shining a flashlight on a couple wounds so that we can bring lasting healing. but in truth, all long lasting healing comes from a deep act of love towards ourselves. you can say something like, “I love you so deeply. I am right here for you, I know that you are worthy and valuable and I am ready to truly embody and feel it.”
*bonus points for hugging yourself for a few breaths. don’t knock it till you try it!
let’s get into it <3
I want you to step back into your childhood and think of a time you remember feeling confident, proud, excited, and loved.
the idea of this question is to bring you back to a core memory, somewhere where your confidence was uninhibited, it was untouched by the world. it was a pure, free flowing light within you. write whatever comes up, let it out onto the page, it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Now, I want you to get into more specific detail. What does that feeling feel like inside of your body?
sit with it for a moment, close your eyes. is it light? is it coming from your tummy? or maybe your heart? does it feel energetic? get into detail, and don’t worry about it making sense. just write it down as it comes.
