In Progress, On Purpose
50 Powerful Self Love Journal Prompts to Strengthen Your Worth
Do you love yourself—truly, unapologetically, unconditionally? Or do you measure yourself against an impossible ideal, leaving you trapped in self-doubt and criticism?
The images of happy, successful and beautiful person projected by the society or social media – it appears perfect. It is perfect. But in reality, it is just like the reflection you see when looking at broken pieces of mirror. Distorted. Incomplete. Broken.
Perfect is broken. Perfect is a facade.
You believe it to be true and become self-critical for not achieving those deceptions. It is a deception because it is impossible to attain.
You start to disrespect and not appreciate yourself. I am not beautiful enough or successful enough or productive enough – these thoughts will race in your mind all the time. Eventually, you will feel that you are not good enough. And that feeling will weigh you down, crumble and crush you.
This doesn’t have to be true. You have the power to change that – power to challenge your inner voice and the standards of the society.
Completing this collection of 50 deep self love journal prompts is the first step you can take in your self love journey. These journal prompts will help you to see your own worth, identify patterns and challenge the negative thoughts.

But your self-worth is real. Your flaws are real.
Perfection is a lie. Humans are imperfect. And there is beauty in being human. So let go of the illusion. Embrace yourself fully.
Your journey to self-love starts now.
