Journal writing is like an all-in-one therapy and life improvement for me. I use my journals for manifestation, shadow work, and personal development in general.
Journal prompts for self-confidence can help you to improve your mood, be more motivated, get to know yourself, and finally accept yourself.
In this post, I give you 22 journal prompts for self-confidence, which hopefully will help you to increase your self-esteem and self-confidence!

The Symptoms Of Low Self-Confidence
The feeling of not being able to do anything, of constantly failing, or being of low “value” as a human being is a risk factor for psychological illnesses.
A lack of self-confidence has been shown to promote the development of depression and social phobia.
Often, a lack of self-esteem and self-confidence is visible.
Individuals with a lack of self-confidence are shy and anxious. They also tend to speak negatively about themselves and to talk down their successes.
Some suffer from logophobia (fear of speaking) or other anxiety disorders.
Social anxiety leads to states of anxiety and panic attacks – often accompanied by social withdrawal, or even complete isolation.
Others try to cover up their insecurity by acting exaggeratedly self-confident.
They seek reassurance from others because only this external insurance gives them the feeling of being valuable.
What Are The Advantages Of Developing More Self-Confidence?
There are a number of benefits that people with strong self-confidence enjoy.
Not only does the perception by your fellow human beings change – you also transform into a more positive person:
You are more courageous.
You are happier.
You are more cheerful.
You feel more at ease.
You become more outgoing.
You feel more confident.
You believe in achieving goals.
You have a stronger presence.
You live more consciously.
You stand up for yourself more.
You think about yourself.
You recognize your possibilities.
Self-confident people are fully aware of their strengths, but also of their weaknesses.
And this is exactly where they differ from their less self-confident fellow human beings.
They accept these weaknesses and “flaws” and do not constantly criticize themselves.
But self-confidence also means to believe in oneself and to be convinced of oneself.
In order to strengthen your self-confidence in the long term, it is important to be aware of your true self, feelings, successes, and failures.

The Self-Confidence Workbook
As a psychology student, I recommend a fantastic workbook written by another psychologist!
It gives you not only essential scientific information on self-confidence, but also practical exercises that are easy to follow.
The author gives realistic examples for each possible scenario, which everyone can relate to.
At the beginning of the book, you will be asked a few questions as to whether this book is really for you.
If you answer with yes to some of these questions (as I did), you will definitely get value from this book:
Do you prefer to remain silent because you are afraid to share your thoughts even though you know you have something important to say?
Do you avoid to do certain things that you are not 100% sure you can do?
Do you often question your actions a second time?
Do you avoid risks out of fear of failure?
Do you reflect on your mistakes for a long time and often?
Feel free to comment below your journal prompts for self-confidence or your answers!
Love & Light,
Elsa.
