35 Journal Prompts For Unconditional Self-Love

Are you ready to create a deeper, more loving relationship with your innermost self? Below, you’ll find 35 self-love journal prompts designed to help you cultivate unconditional love for your whole being: mind, body, and soul.

Cultivating Unconditional Self-Love

You are worthy of unconditional self-love.

And you deserve to be loved every single day of your life.

Is that hard to say? It used to be for me. I had a hard time believing I “deserved” anything good in this world. I remember the first time I tried to say the affirmation, “I deserve joy.” Almost immediately, my inner bully heard these words and stampeded right out to speak her mind:

“Who are you to say that you deserve joy? How selfish can you be? What have you done to deserve anything?”

For most of my life, I’ve let that voice dictate my thoughts and actions. But one day, instead of immediately taking my inner bully’s words as truth, I paused and decided to reframe my perspective.

I believe my best friend deserves infinite joy and love, right? Absolutely.

And my nieces and nephews? Always.

What about my neighbors, community members, and strangers I see on afternoon walks? Well, sure. I don’t know them, but I believe they deserve joy, too.

It’s just me, I realized.

The only person I was being unfairly hard on was myself.

With this newfound perspective, my attitude started to shift. I began to incorporate positive affirmations into my daily routine and slowly started to speak more lovingly to myself.

And that question my inner bully had asked before?

“What have you done to deserve anything?”

Well, nothing. And everything. You see, I realized that I don’t actually have to do anything to deserve love, joy, peace, abundance, and all the good stuff in my life.

I was already deserving, just because I existed.

And the same is true for you.

Your very existence makes you worthy of unconditional self-love. You don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to prove anything. You don’t have to achieve anything.

You are worthy.

You are deserving.

And you are more than enough—just because you’re you.

Always.

How to Use These Journal Prompts

The journal prompts below are designed to help you love, celebrate, and honor everything that makes you uniquely you. These journal prompts are all about you: what makes you special, how you can fall in love with yourself a little more each day, and what self-care practices you can incorporate into your life to cultivate even more unconditional love within.

There are no rules for how to approach these prompts. If you want, you can answer them one at a time, or you can skip around and find the ones that resonate most with you.

If possible, try to schedule 15 to 30 minutes for your journaling time. Find a quiet spot where you won’t be distracted, and set the intention to be open and honest with yourself.

Most importantly, release all judgment as you start to write. If an uncomfortable feeling arises, choose to have compassion for yourself.

Remember this:

Self-love isn’t about cultivating perfection. Self-love is about loving your imperfections perfectly.
