Healing your body image can be one of the most impactful things you can do for your emotional well-being and mental health. It starts by accepting yourself fully, the perfections and the imperfections. That’s easier said than done, I get it. For me, it’s been a journey. What’s helped is having a toolbox of resources to turn to when I need them, such as meditations and journaling prompts. Here are 22 positive body image journal prompts to help you on your healing journey.
I hope you find these journal prompts useful. Bookmark the page or Pin them to your Journal Prompts Pinterest board so you can come back to them whenever you need to. I’ve found, this journey doesn’t have a set destination. I have to continually do ‘the work’ to keep my healing progressing.
