This month’s journaling prompts on the theme of SELF-CONFIDENCE are designed to help you build a steady, grounded belief in yourself. Not by forcing positivity, but by gently understanding how you think, feel, and show up in your everyday life.
Mini-theme: Asserting self and finding purpose
Today’s Prompt: Complete: “Expressing my true thoughts today would look like…” (repeat for assertiveness).

You know, I don’t like people to know my true thoughts. I don’t feel it’s safe.
There, I’ve said it.
Telling people what you really think is a really vulnerable position, I feel.
It takes a lot for me to do that. And I generally do it with people I know really well.
Sometimes I say quite personal things to other people, but I’ve noticed that they are ‘created’ personal thoughts, they are given to someone else in a way that doesn’t make me feel vulnerable.
So what would it look like if I expressed my true thoughts all day? I’m not sure I could do that.
For assertiveness though I could, ‘Expressing my assertiveness today would look like…’ just saying what I need, asking people to help, expressing preferences, making sure that I enjoy the day and don’t just manage it or facilitate it for others so that they have a good day.
Assertiveness, I can do that.
Expressing my true thoughts I will work on during the day.
