Journal Prompts for Your Self-Esteem

The other day I was in the shower and I was thinking about things I could write about when I want to motivate myself or give myself a confidence boost. These are some of the ideas I came up with and I think they could be really beneficial and encouraging.

While thinking about these things, you may begin to doubt yourself or compare yourself to other people, but I’m telling you right now: DON’T DO THAT. It does not matter how big or small you think these things are. These prompts are meant to generate big and small reminders of how dope you are :)

1. What are 10 (or more) things you like about yourself?

2. What things do you want to do or try that can help you feel good about yourself? For example, I’ve been considering trying out individual lashes and recently started looking into LHR. Also, going to the gym even if it's just for a walk on the treadmill. Literally, if you go once a week for fun just do something.

3. Think about some of your accomplishments in recent years. Describe them to your younger self and imagine how they would feel.

4. What are 10 (or more) things that you like about your life?

5. What are your energy givers? The big and small things that you do that make you feel joy? I loveee my yoga mat. I can lay on it, do nothing, and be happy. It’s that simple. Also washing my face in the morning :)

I want to EMPHASIZE that these things can be simple, everyday things. Do it for yourself without comparing yourself to other people. This is for you and you onlyyy.

To be a Black girl is to be inherently misunderstood.

My anxiety is anger. My anger is violence. My violence is a death wish.

I wish to be a river, a steady stream of water. Even then, I’d forever be coarse. Sometimes words are all too much, and I want to be a rock, but then again, I’d forever be tough.

I don’t want to soft. I want to be free. An abstract, abstruse concept that is painfully intangible. An obtuse triangle that can never be molded into the ideas of others. I wish to be bright, beautiful colors that blind the world, then no one will ever know how much disgusting shame crawls beneath the surface of me. Oh, to paint my world with gestured marks, distorted lines, and epiphanies of a new America.

Why so uncontained? Why do you hide?

Speak out to the world. Do not let them steal your shine.

From the gut of your belly to the tip of your tongue, show them how you speak up.

I am here. You see me, yes you do! I am standing right in front of you, in proud silence. I am who I say I am. A Black woman from another, and the lineage goes on.

I’ve made it this far, not for them, but because of them. I am here for me.

I am a compilation of experiences above and beyond. Memories marked indelibly on my mind, and the others elusive, yet inherited, sound in my solar plexus because the body never forgets.

I am more than just my skin and my hair.

I am nobody, yet somebody.

I am girl and boy, big and small, sad and lonely, then later joyous and full.

My Black beauty.

Yours truly,

Victory Chisom

Ok. This will be my last “rant” about fanfic and Black writers. I know so many people say that the “x reader” is meant for everyone and that people should be happy with that.

But I feel like having fanfic that center Black people (or any person of color) is so important. Like I want to read about a reader/OC who is unapologetically BLACK. From the slang, to the way they are described, to how they act in the story. I feel like telling some one that just having a blank “x reader” is enough is bullshit. And y’all don’t even be writing that shit correctly let’s be fucking real🤦🏾‍♀️.

Also I lied. While writing this another thing popped into my mind to be pissed about. But that will be a later post😗✌🏾.
