Your Voice - Self Discovery Journaling Companion E-Book

Why journal?

Journaling is one of the most effective ways to clear your mind and take insight and wisdom from your Inner world. Expressive writing and journaling help us to process emotions and create internal space for growth - which can have positive ripples out to our emotional, mental, and even physical health. 

Without this space to unpack and process the stories, fears, worries and joys we experience as humans, we can find ourselves stuck - unable to take action through the undigested experiences of our lives. Stuck reliving narratives and stories we carry with us, across generations - narratives we may have outgrown. 

Journal your truth • Discover your voice • Know your authentic self.

Turn to these prompts when:

• You feel overwhelmed by or lost in all that you are thinking and feeling

• You want to spend time exploring your dreams and passions

• You need a friend - cultivate a strong and compassionate internal voice - who will always be there to support and guide you.

Inside these pages you will find a series of journaling prompts to connect you in with your self and your voice. This is a space to connect in to your creative expression, to your values, to your pain, and to your joy. This is a space where ALL of who you is completely welcome. As you work through, you may connect in with your inner child and access layers of self-parenting or re-parenting from/with your adult self.

If you have previously tried journaling and felt stuck diarising the events of your day, or venting your worries only to leave the pages feeling more stressed than you started…then this resource is here to help you move beyond this point to:

• Extract and decipher the magic of all you're thinking and feeling

• Understand and move through what you are experiencing

• Make aligned decisions with more ease

• Cultivate a compassionate and strong internal voice - who you can turn to for support.

About the creator

Hey, Jasmin here - Brisbane-based creative and embodied social worker.

I know that creative expression allows us to delve into our emotions, express our thoughts and feelings in a helpful way, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. However, when I first began journaling, I wasn’t really sure what I was meant to be doing.

On the one hand, my inner perfectionist would tell me I wasn’t doing it right, and on the other hand, I would end up either: diarising (writing out the events of my day), or venting (pouring onto the page all the things that were troubling me)...

Personally, neither of these approaches worked for me in a sustainable way.

I didn’t feel that diarising was building a deeper connection with myself (and without a strong ‘why’ I didn’t stick with my practice). Venting often left me feeling worse than when I started - I would open up all the hurt or frustration and walk away from the pages feeling tired and exposed…and like nothing had shifted.

Releasing the pressure to write a certain way, and instead opening up curious self-enquiry whilst adding in the missing layer of a nurturing voice within my journaling has made all the difference - creating a practice that I WANT to turn to - to unpack, process, and explore things with myself…AND one that helps me move through experiences, wrapping me in care along the way, so I can walk away from the pages feeling deeply supported…by…me! It’s been life changing!

Creating this journaling resource is my way of sharing these deeper journaling practices with you - offering you a supportive space to explore your creativity, gain insights into your self and unlock new levels of self-expression through journaling.

It’s time to come home to your voice.
