How does journaling impact self-esteem and general well-being?
Self-esteem reflects a person’s overall emotional evaluation of him or herself. Example questions to jumpstart your clients critical thinking process include the following:
| Psychological Question | Example Prompt |
|---|---|
| Who I Am | List the top 5 things that made you smile today. Reflect on why these occurrences brought you joy. |
| What I Need | What and/or who could you not live without? Reflect on this feeling of need. |
| What I Desire | If you had the ability to accomplish one thing tomorrow, what would it be and why? |
How can self-esteem be measured?
Instruct clients to set aside five minutes to reflect positively on what they have learned about him or herself. Prompt clients to focus their journal entries on meaningful experiences, while encouraging them to think critically about what they’ve learned about themselves.
