Honouring International Self-Care Day
A mindful journaling practice for coming home to yourself
International Self-Care Day reminds us that tending to our wellbeing is not a luxury—it’s a lifelong practice. Amid the noise, pressure, and constant motion of everyday life, it can be easy to slip into autopilot. But your needs, your body, and your mind are always whispering to you. The real question is: are you listening?
At Combat Journal, we believe self-care starts with stillness. And journaling is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to turn inward and hear yourself clearly. Whether you’re moving through burnout, navigating change, or simply seeking more balance, making space to write can help you reconnect with what truly matters.
Below, we share 5 gentle journaling prompts to support your self-care practice—today and every day.

📓 Self-Care Is a Skill—And You’re Allowed to Practice
Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and screen breaks. Sometimes it’s sitting with uncomfortable feelings, getting honest on the page, and choosing a slower rhythm—even when the world urges you to go faster.
So if today feels heavy, quiet, soft, or undefined, know this: you’re still showing up. And that counts. Let this be your reminder to listen inward, write without pressure, and honour where you are.
There's strength in stillness. And power in presence.
