Most days my prompts come from the We’re Not Really Strangers (WNRS) Self-Love card deck and the write with rupi self love card deck. Sometimes they come from various books I’m reading or are inspired by a guided meditation that day.
I’ll be posting my daily prompts here but I might not always post my full response to them publicly. I do keep a physical journal of them and I would like to encourage others to use these prompts as well. Whether you answer them here or in your own private journal is entirely up to you.
I have always struggled with trying to love myself and more often than not I feel like I have no worth / what I say has no value. After hitting one year sober I realized I have no idea who I am and it became important for me to start figuring it out and to work on loving that person is the only way I am going to stay sober long term going forward.
Starting my own topic on this serves a few purposes
- Previously I have avoided creating my own thread here and try to shrink myself but today I am giving myself permission to take up space and telling myself that what I have to say does matter.
- I have seen others mention feelings of self loathing. If you relate with this in general, are having a bad day, or could just use some more self love in your life I would love for you to join me here.
- I have been trying to answer prompts on self love and healing every day since early December 2021. Posting them here will hold me accountable to continue to do them daily while offering them for others to use as well.
