The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Have you ever had one of those days where it seems just about everything is bad? You feel bad about yourself or your skills, or lack of, or just feel bad, as in against everything. Get out your journal and write down everything you’re bad at. Be real, but rant away if that’s how you’re feeling at this moment. Go for ugly while you’re there. What is it about you that is ugly? I don’t just mean the way you look. List all your ugly character traits while you’re at it. Get it all down on paper.

To balance things out make sure you spend just as much time or more on writing what you are good at. Write as if you were defending yourself. Remember you just beat yourself up in the bad & ugly entries, so be extra nice to yourself with the good entry. It might be worth creating a visual page for each of these as well or instead.

I hope you enjoy this journal writing prompt. Please leave any comments in the section below.
