Sometimes you know exactly what you want to write in your journal, and sometimes you need a little help to get going. Journal prompts come in handy for times like that. In this post I’ve got 11 journal prompts for you to use when working on self-acceptance.

  • What are my strengths?
  • What are my values?
  • If I wasn’t afraid, I would _____.
  • What does my inner critic tell me? How am I wrong?
  • 10 things that cheer me up are …
  • If I could tell my past self anything, I would say _____.
  • What am I proud of?
  • My best personality trait is _____. Why?
  • Tape a picture you love of yourself into your journal . Why did you pick this one?
  • 10 interesting facts about myself.
  • What three words would my closest friends use to positively describe me?

If you like this idea, let me know and I can make more lists of journal prompts.
