Find calm, feel better, sleep deeper and bounce back from challenges quicker with the support of the Give Yourself Kindness journal.
Why choose the Give Yourself Kindness journal?
Tired of journals with the same, repetitive prompts each day or tools that are rooted in forced-positivity that can leave you feeling worse?
The Give Yourself Kindness journal is rooted in science-backed self-compassion and approved by experts worldwide, including Dr. Chris Irons, a clinical psychologist, researcher, writer and trainer in Compassion Focussed Therapy.
"This is such a fantastic resource! Supportive, encouraging and containing, whilst also helping people to explore and learn how to manage their emotions with compassion. Highly recommended." - Dr. Chris Irons
This journal is for you; if you've journaled before - or if you haven't. If you have heard of self-compassion before - or if you haven't. If you have a loud inner voice some of the time, most of the time, or hardly ever.
Or are you looking for a thoughtful gift for a loved one to support them in a gentle, empowering way? Each journal comes wrapped in bespoke tissue paper and you can add a free gift message which will be handwritten. (*Add your message to the order note section at checkout).

Affirmation Cards That Don't Feel Fake
Tired of affirmation cards that make you feel worse when you're struggling? These are different.
Instead of demanding you "be positive" when life is hard, these affirmation cards acknowledge that struggle is part of being human—and you deserve kindness through it.
Imagine starting your morning with words that feel true. Cards that say "I can't be perfect and I don't need to be" instead of "I am perfect." Words that give you permission to be human, not pressure to pretend everything's fine.
That's what self-compassion affirmation cards do—they meet you where you are and help you respond to yourself with the same kindness you'd give a friend.
Collette Jones, LCSW
Licensed Therapist & Practice Owner
"These cards are a beautiful tool that offer gentle reminders to soothe the mind, ease tension, and cultivate a sense of peace. Unlike other affirmations that can veer into forced positivity, these cards focus on affirming self-acceptance and self-compassion."
Why These Affirmation Cards Actually Work
Most affirmation cards use generic positive thinking that backfires. Clinical psychologists explain that for people struggling with low self-esteem or harsh self-talk, traditional positive affirmations ("I'm amazing!" "I'm confident!") can actually make you feel worse—they create a gap between what you're supposed to believe and what you actually feel.
Read what 5 psychologists say about why affirmations work (or don't) →
The Self-Compassion Difference
Self-compassion affirmations work differently: They acknowledge difficulty and remind you that imperfection is human. Licensed therapists use these cards with clients specifically because they're grounded in self-compassion principles, not empty positivity.
What Makes These Affirmation Cards Different
- Therapist-backed and used in clinical practice — Mental health professionals use these cards with clients working on anxiety, self-criticism, and building self-worth
- Self-compassion principles (not toxic positivity) — Every affirmation is designed using Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) principles
- 60 unique affirmations across 3 sets — Never repetitive. Each card offers genuine support with words you'll actually believe
- Acknowledge struggle instead of ignoring it — These aren't "good vibes only" cards. They validate your real experience while helping you respond with kindness
Margaret Davis, MS, LPC
Licensed Therapist
"These affirmations are truly so beautiful and powerful! When I read them, I instantly feel a sense of groundedness and calm. I also love that they are centered around having more compassion and kindness for ourselves. I will definitely be utilizing these with my clients, as well as practicing them myself."
What Daily Life Looks Like With These Cards
Morning scenario: You wake up and draw a card from your bedside table. It says "Just because I have a thought doesn't mean it's true." You prop it on your bathroom mirror and notice it while getting ready—a gentle reminder when your inner critic starts listing everything you should be worried about today.
Work scenario: It's 2pm and you've made a mistake. Your desk card catches your eye: "I can't be perfect and I don't need to be." Instead of spiraling into harsh self-criticism, you take a breath. The kind voice is there when you need it.
That's how these affirmation cards work: Not by forcing you to believe something you don't, but by making compassion as familiar as criticism. Over 3-4 weeks of seeing these words daily, the kind inner voice becomes stronger and more accessible.
How to Use Your Affirmation Cards
- Morning ritual: Draw a card each day for gentle encouragement as you start your morning
- Desk companion: Keep one visible at your workspace where you'll see it during stressful moments
- Visible reminders: Prop on your bathroom mirror, bedside table, or anywhere you need kindness (brass stand or glass frame available)
- Difficult moments: Keep the deck accessible to draw from when your inner voice is being harsh
- Therapy support: Use between sessions to reinforce self-compassion work
