Episode 60: Looking Back with Kindness: How to Journal Your Way Into a Softer Story of the Past Year

Welcome back to The Journaling Room. I’m Kendall, and today we’re doing something that can feel both vulnerable and incredibly freeing:

We’re looking back at the past year with kindness.

Not with comparison. Not with criticism. Not with the “I should’ve done more” soundtrack that so quickly takes over this time of year.

But with compassion. With truth. With grace.

This episode is for the woman who looks back at her year and immediately sees the gaps. The places she fell short. The goals left undone. The moments she wishes she’d handled differently.

If that’s you, then take a breath and settle in—because today is not about judging your year. It’s about rewriting the story you tell yourself about it.

We’ll be talking about:

  • How to journal your wins—even the tiny ones
  • How to reframe “failures” as evidence of growth
  • And how to write a compassionate letter to your past-year self

And we will do it all with Christ’s gentleness shaping our perspective.

Journaling Prompt #1: What are three wins—big or small—I can name from this past year?

Journaling Prompt #2: What did I learn from something I once called a failure?

Journaling Prompt #3: If I wrote a letter of kindness to myself about this year, what would it say?
