Welcome to the world of “Dear Me” letters – a therapeutic journaling practice that allows us to reflect on our past, nurture our future, and reconnect with our inner child.
Before you download our 15 gentle healing journal prompts, let’s explore some benefits of writing to your past self, future self and inner child.
📘Writing to Your Past Self
Writing to your past self may help you find emotional healing through journaling. It allows you to provide comfort, guidance, and reassurance to the person you once were.
Reflecting on the challenges you faced and the lessons you’ve learned can help you make sense of your journey and find closure.
Example: Dear past me, I know you’re going through a tough time right now, but I want you to know that everything will eventually fall into place.
By revisiting your past experiences and writing to your past self, consider the following questions:
– What advice would you give to your younger self?
– How have your past experiences shaped who you are today?
– What lessons have you learned that you would like to share with your past self?
🌄Writing to Your Future Self
Writing to your future self is a way to set intentions and visualize the life you want to create. It allows you to reflect on your aspirations, goals, and dreams while providing a roadmap for your future self to follow. When you write to your future self, you create a powerful connection between your present and future selves.
Example: Dear future me, as I write this letter, I envision the person I want to become. I want you to know that I am working towards my goals every day and that I believe in your ability to achieve them. Stay focused and keep pushing forward.
As you write to your future self, consider the following questions:
– What are your aspirations and goals for the future?
– What steps can you take today to align your actions with your desired future?
– How would you like your future self to feel when they read this letter?
🧸Writing to Your Inner Child
Our inner child represents our authentic self, free from societal expectations and limitations. Our therapeutic journal prompts can allow you to rekindle the sense of joy, curiosity, and playfulness that may have been lost over time. It is a way to connect with your deepest desires and rediscover what truly brings you happiness.
Example: Dear inner child, I want to thank you for the joy and wonder you brought into my life. I promise to always nurture and protect you, and to never lose sight of the magic that resides within us.
As you tap into your inner child and write a letter, consider the following:
– What activities brought you joy and happiness as a child?
– How can you incorporate more playfulness and curiosity into your adult life?
– What promises can you make to your inner child to honor their needs and desires?

This forum allows me to post art and other content much quicker than creating an entire blog post. It’s not like a full community where people can post topics and have discussions and all that. This is my quiet place as I continue to detox from social media, organize my content from through the years and create new content while protecting my peace.
