How to use your Prompts

There is no required order or pace. These prompts are designed to meet you exactly where you are.

You are not your thoughts. You are the observer — and you have the power to change the story.

What's Inside

Everything you need to step back from negative thought patterns and relate to them differently — with curiosity instead of criticism:

• 30+ thoughtful journaling prompts for negative thoughts and cognitive distortions

• "Dear Friend" welcoming introduction from Cali

• Guidance on how to use the prompts without pressure

• Reflective closing words

• 30 bonus blank-lined journaling pages

The prompts gently explore four dimensions of negative self-talk:

• Cognitive distortions — the thinking patterns that distort reality

• Negative self-talk and the inner critic

• Overthinking and overanalyzing conversations and situations

• Moving from automatic belief to conscious perspective

Sample prompts included:

• "What is this thought asking me to believe about myself?"

• "Is there evidence that genuinely supports this thought — or is it an assumption?"

• "If a close friend had this thought, what would I tell them?"

•"What would change if I held this thought more lightly?"

A gentle reminder

These prompts are a supportive tool for personal reflection, self-awareness, and growth. They are not a substitute for professional mental health support, therapy, or medical care.

Each prompt is an invitation, not a requirement. Engage with what feels supportive, skip what doesn't, and move at your own pace. Your well-being always comes first.

If you are experiencing severe or ongoing distress, please reach out to a qualified professional.

• Start with any prompt that feels relevant

• Write as much or as little as you want

• Pause when something feels important — sit with it

• Skip anything that doesn't feel supportive right now

• Return anytime mental chatter resurfaces
