The Benefits of Journaling for Self Love

Often, when we fill ourselves with self-hatred (even unknowingly), we make the decisions that lead to poorer mental and physical health. We overindulge in food, drink, and other destructive behaviors.

And these become a downward spiral.

BUT, if you make the choice to be more compassionate with yourself instead, it leads to better decisions overall.

So, choose love! And expect these other great things from self-love journaling too:

  • Higher levels of confidence
  • Better outside relationships (people treat you based on how you treat yourself)
  • Lowers anxiety (when you love yourself, you worry less what others think)
  • A boost in energy
  • Awareness of your blessings
  • Self-discovery and personal growth (when you care about yourself, you make your health and happiness a priority)

Self-Love Journal Challenge

Do your journaling for self love every day, or when you can. But I challenge you to make it a consistent ritual. With every question, you’ll find that you are a little closer to giving yourself the love and growth you deserve in life.
