Journal Prompt for Insecurity
This is a wonderful journal prompt for beginners and experts alike because it is both so simple and so deep. This journal prompt for insecurity is perfect for the woman struggling with self-worth and negative self-image… so of course it resonated with me down in my core.
I pulled this journal prompt from my handwritten journal, a classic black and white composition book that has been an extension of me since my August 2017 spiritual awakening. I think it’s safe to say I’ve become a journal-er.
This journal accompanied me to each session of The Untethered Soul Book Club/Yoga Class I attended Wednesday nights in the Fall 2017 at an incredible local yoga studio called The Body Electric Yoga Company.
This journal entry was from my class notes for The Untethered Soul Week 6. Oh yes, I took notes!
Our two amazing instructors first led the class of ladies through a guided meditation and then presented this journal prompt for insecurity as a free-write exercise to do while we sat on our yoga mats.
I AM ENOUGH.
What would life look like if you believed these words wholeheartedly?
I would feel different when I look in the mirror, when I face loved ones, or meet people for the first time.
The mind chatter quiets into a whisper, then silence.
I would shine the light from within for all to see.
I could be fully present wherever I am, at all times.
A feeling of peace and gratitude would flow in my veins and would not have to be called forth in moments of intention or crisis.
Courage would propel me.
I could live my purpose and give glory to God for this identity, as a divine daughter, made by my Creator to be exactly as I am.
I would live without fear, fully trusting who God says I am and the plan He has for my life.
I would have come through the fire of a life defined by insecurity and the fear of never being enough to the truth that I AM ENOUGH right now, and will always be enough.
Then I can guide others to that truth that has set me free.
{Tears on my yoga mat}
I invite you to sit with this journal prompt too, maybe even on a yoga mat if that feels good to you.
Take a deep breath. Then say it out loud: I AM ENOUGH.
Say it again. I AM ENOUGH.
Take another deep breath.
You are enough because Jesus is enough.
Exhale.
You are enough because Jesus is enough.
Now ask yourself, what would your life look like if you believed this wholeheartedly?
Breathe into this question. Grab a pen and paper, even if it’s not your official journal. Set a time on your phone for 5 minutes and let it flow.
