Self Love Journaling Prompts for Young Girls

Those tender years are so important for building a strong sense of self. Giving girls gentle ways to recognize their own worth and beauty – inside and out – is like planting seeds of self-assurance that will bloom beautifully.

Now, when we say "journaling," don't picture serious essays! Think more like little pockets of reflection, captured in words or drawings, that celebrate who they are right now.

Here are some thoughtful prompts designed to help young girls connect with their amazing selves:

• Describe something that was hard for you but you did it anyway. What helped you keep going?
• Write a letter to yourself from your future 18-year-old self. What would she tell you she's proud of you for?
• What's your favorite outfit and why does it make you feel good?
• Who is a female character from a book or movie that reminds you of yourself?
• What is your favorite way to show kindness to yourself?
• If your heart was a garden, what would be growing in it? What needs more watering?
• What is something you are proud of learning or trying, even if it was hard?
• How do you talk to yourself when you're struggling? How could you speak to yourself more kindly?
• Write about someone who loves you exactly as you are. How do they show it?
• If you had a “you are amazing” jar, what would you put in it today?

Journaling can become a treasured ritual, one that helps a young girl see her own worth and grow in confidence. Helping a young girl see her own value doesn't always need a big speech or a perfect plan. Sometimes, it's as simple as sitting beside her while she writes down one thing she likes about herself.

In that quiet, she begins to notice that she matters. And that’s something she’ll carry long after the page is turned.
