Promptly Unhinged: What Would You Say to a Friend Who Felt Like You Do Right Now?

guiding chaos, one prompt at a time

This one’s about compassion, but with a cheat code: Pretend it’s not you.

Because let’s be real, your inner critic would never talk to your best friend like that.

But somehow it has a megaphone when it comes to you.

So here’s your reframe:

What would you say to someone you loved if they felt exactly how you feel right now?

Your Turn:

  • What would you say to them gently, honestly, or even with a little sass?

  • Would you tell them to rest? To eat? To cry on the couch for a bit?

  • Would you remind them that they’re allowed to be tired and still worthy?

  • Now—what happens if you say that to yourself?

You’re not being dramatic. You’re being human. And journaling it counts, even if it’s just a few words of softness.
