Journal Prompts Ep. #196 - The Self-Love Foundation: Redesigning the Life You Were Taught to Live

In this powerful episode, Dr. Elsie Blass guides you through The Self-Love Foundation™—a simple yet profound six-part framework that helps you assess the foundational beliefs you were given and choose what to upgrade.

With strategic journaling prompts, scripture, a guided visualization, and a real self-love audit, this episode is your permission slip to evolve. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to love yourself wisely, spiritually, and generationally.

Here are 30 foundational journaling prompts—5 per topic—aligned with the six foundational pillars introduced in the episode: Love, Self-Love, Money, Career, Health, and Family.

LOVE

1. What did I first learn about love in my childhood, and how does that show up in my relationships today?

2. What does love feel like in my body—safe, anxious, controlling, freeing?

3. What boundaries do I need in love that I didn’t know I could have?

4. How do I confuse love with attention, attachment, or approval?

5. What does healthy, God-centered love look like to me now?

SELF-LOVE

1. In what ways have I consistently abandoned myself for the sake of others?

2. What part of me still seeks permission to take up space?

3. How do I speak to myself when no one is listening?

4. What does radical self-respect look like in my daily habits?

5. Where in my life am I not being honest with myself, and how can I correct that in love?

MONEY

1. What were the first words or emotions I heard and felt around money growing up?

2. Do I feel more powerful or powerless when thinking about my finances—and why?

3. What do I believe I must sacrifice to earn or keep money?

4. What is my current financial ceiling, and who or what installed it?

5. What does it look like to earn money from a place of overflow, joy, and ease?

CAREER

1. What was I taught to pursue in work—safety, success, service, or survival?

2. Where am I still working from validation instead of vision?

3. What would my career look like if I trusted God more than I trusted fear?

4. How has my identity become tangled up in my productivity?

5. What next-level version of my career is calling me, and what does she require of me?

HEALTH

1. What did I learn about health from my family—physically, emotionally, and mentally?

2. Where have I neglected my body as a way to punish or ignore my emotions?

3. What do I actually need more of—discipline, gentleness, hydration, movement, or stillness?

4. What does a “healed” relationship with my body and mind look like?

5. How do I invite the Holy Spirit into my health journey?

FAMILY

1. What role did I play in my family, and is that role still serving me?

2. Which inherited beliefs or expectations from my family are holding me back today?

3. Where have I confused loyalty with limitation in my family dynamics?

4. What generational patterns am I being called to heal and end with me?

5. What do I want family to look and feel like moving forward?
