Best Self-Care Kit: Love Letter Journal Prompt

When is the last time you told yourself, you love YOU? If you feel bogged down by negative or critical thoughts about yourself, you will find this prompt particularly handy, but possibly difficult. This is all the more reason to do it.

Scientific studies have shown that the majority of the thoughts we have in a day are negative. That includes the thoughts we have about ourselves. It is time to reset that mindset!

This Love Letter Journal Prompt is a powerful way to replace the negative thoughts we have about ourselves with positive thoughts. In this particular journal prompt, you will reflect on the wonderful things that make you loveable, unique, and amazing!

Best Self-Care Kit: Affirmation List Worksheet

Our thoughts can have a big impact on our outcomes. If you hold negative thoughts about yourself about completing a particular task such as

“I can’t do it”
or
“I’m not good enough”

It will have an impact on your performance. You might even convince yourself to not try at all.

Negative self-talk can impact our self-esteem and performance, however, affirmations can have the opposite effect.

In this Affirmation List Worksheet, you will write down positive statements about yourself or what others have said about you. You can add to your list as you recognize more positive traits about yourself.

If you are feeling low on self-esteem, come back to them and say them to yourself out loud or in your head for a boost.

Best Self-Care Kit: Daily Self-Care Check-In Worksheet

If you are not in tune with your body, mind, and spirit, you may not be aware that stress is building up throughout your day. Being intentional with tuning in to your body’s stress signals, inner chatter, and overall mood can be a great way on how to deal with stress at home.

The daily self-check-in worksheet will help you with just that. By checking in daily you can identify patterns and behaviors that will help you in becoming your BEST SELF.

Mood Tracker

Check out the mood tracker section where you can scale your mood 1-10. A 1 would mean that you are feeling great and stress-free and 10 being a completely stressed out mom and overwhelmed.

You can use the note section to write notes on why you think you might be feeling that way. What happened? Maybe you will be able to pinpoint it. Or maybe it’s several things that seemed to have happened all at once.

Areas of Improvement

On the right of the page is a section to write down a step you’d like to take in any areas of your life that can be improved:

• Spiritual
• Mental
• Social
• Physical
• Emotional

If you notice, that any of these areas are calling out to you, reflect on what little action you can do in these areas that would encourage growth.

Just as an example, as stressed out moms, we can often run low in our social life (or during Quarantine). If your husband is working outside of the home and leaving your adult conversations lacking, think of something you can do to improve this area of your life. Maybe you can arrange a playdate? Or a more low-key solution would be to call a friend.

Schedule Self-Care

If you are feeling high on the stress scale, I encourage you to do some form of self-care to bring those stress levels down. Write down how to deal with stress at home with a self-care action plan for the day in this section. Need ideas? Check out 63 Self-Care Ideas For Stressed Moms.

Best Self-Care Kit: Clear Your Head Assessment Page

Have you ever gone to bed and your thoughts are racing with all the things you forgot to do, have done badly, etc.? If I let this get the best of me I will toss and turn throughout the night. This best self-care kit worksheet is a compassionate way to help clear your thoughts so you can have a good night’s sleep.

It includes sections to record:

Track Your Mood

Here you can circle the best coordinating emoji to keep track of your mood and also to see if there is any correlation with your mood and sleep patterns.

What you are Grateful For

In this section, recall something that you are grateful for. Reflect on how nice it was to have experienced it.

When you are recalling what you could have done better, this is a gentle positive way of going about it. In this section, you can write what you learned. For example:

I learned that a major source of my stress comes from when I fall behind on chores.

I learned that I feel better about myself when I read to my children before bed as it gives me that bonding time and helps them develop their reading skills.

What You Can Do Tomorrow

Here you can answer with the intent to make tomorrow a better day. From the lessons you learned today, what can you do tomorrow to make progress? For example:

I will schedule out a part of the day to catch up on laundry.

I will set an alarm on my phone to remind me to read to the kids just before bedtime.

Best Self-Care Kit: When I Feel Worried Worksheet

The When I Feel Worried Worksheet can be helpful when you become fixated on something that is bothering you that you can’t seem to let go of. Maybe it became a source of anxiety for you. If something happened that triggered a strong response, this worksheet can guide you through the process of letting go.

It includes sections to record:

What Happened

Describe the situation that happened. What triggered you?

Your Body Signals

How do you feel physically? Is your chest tight? Is your stomach feeling nervous? Is your jaw tight? Hands clenched? Write down whatever you are noticing in your body.

What Are You Worried About?

What are you truly worried about? Is there a certain outcome that might happen that you are dreading?

Can You Do Anything About It?

There are two ways this can resolve. If you answer yes, then decide what action you will take to point you in the right direction. If it will not be resolved in one step, break it down into small manageable steps to address the situation.

Sometimes we have no control or say in a situation yet all our worries and anxieties are wrapped up in the situation. If you answer no, then this is where you need to let go and trust God to do his work. Say a simple prayer of trust to Him.

After you have gone through the worksheet, rate yourself again. Do you feel better releasing that worry or having a plan of action?

Take It A Step Further

Take it a step further by practicing a meditation, practicing a breathing exercise, or reflecting on something you are grateful for.
