A creative journal to help you build confidence and embrace your authentic self. Do you struggle with feelings of self-doubt or low self-worth? Is your inner critic constantly telling you that you aren't good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough? Do you compare yourself to others on social media or in real life, or feel like you just don't fit in? Being a teen in today's world is tough, and if you're struggling, you should know that you aren't alone. But what if you had a place to work through these negative thoughts and feelings? This journal can be your safe space to do just that. Find Your Self-Love Here is full of creative activities to help you move beyond self-criticism, boost your self-confidence, and love yourself for who you are.

You'll also learn how to express yourself effectively through writing, art, and more.
