It's Your Weirdness that Makes You Wonderful: A Self-Acceptance Prompt Journal

By Kate Allan

The artist and author of You Can Do All Things presents a whimsically illustrated, interactive guide to practicing mindfulness, self-love, and creativity.

Depression and anxiety can be uncomfortable to talk about, but that doesn’t mean they should be avoided. With the help of her adorable cartoon support animals, art blogger Kate Allan urges us to be mindful of our mentality. Through self-love affirmations, mindfulness activities, doodle ideas, and journaling prompts, this therapy book helps us sort through and express our feelings.

It’s Your Weirdness that Makes You Wonderful is a self-love guided journal that meets us where we are—in the midst of the feelings that say we’re not enough. Allan’s captioned illustrations help confront the thoughts that lead us to believe our weirdness makes us weak. Young and old, we are encouraged to love ourselves exactly as we are. Inside, you’ll find:

• An affirming space for personal reflection
• Anxiety-reducing visual art and journaling prompts to understand and process your mental health
• Support animals that come along with you wherever you need them
