Journaling Prompts Inspired by The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
Letting Go to Grow: Journaling Prompts Inspired by The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
This week, we’re drawing powerful journaling inspiration from The Let Them Theory, the bold, refreshing mindset shift from Mel Robbins that’s all about radical self-permission.
Whether you’re juggling the demands of a real estate career, caring for a busy household, or trying to reclaim your peace of mind in a noisy world, Let Them offers one liberating truth:
“Let them judge. Let them leave. Let them talk. Let them stay stuck. You keep going.”
In this blog post, we’re channeling Robbins’ empowering message into 7 days of reflective journaling prompts—a chance to peel back the people-pleasing layers, center your own voice, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Why Journal With a Theme?
Journaling with a theme, especially one as freeing as “Let Them,” helps you dig deeper, notice patterns in your thinking, and create space for emotional growth. It also gives you a mental anchor when life gets loud or stressful.

Let Them Journaling Prompts for the Week
Try writing one prompt per day or revisit these whenever you’re feeling emotionally tangled, discouraged, or distracted by others’ opinions.
Day 1: Where am I spending too much energy trying to be understood?
Who do you feel the need to constantly explain yourself to? What would it feel like to just… stop?
Day 2: What parts of myself do I hide or tone down to make others comfortable?
Explore how often you shrink yourself to avoid judgment or conflict. What parts of you are ready to take up more space?
Day 3: Who or what am I trying to fix that doesn’t want to change?
Write about relationships or situations you’re holding onto because you think you should be able to “fix” them. What would it mean to let them stay where they are?
Day 4: How do I feel when I let someone go without chasing them?
Recall a moment when you didn’t explain, apologize, or beg someone to stay. What was hard about that—and what felt powerful?
Day 5: Where am I trying to control something that’s out of my hands?
Letting go doesn’t mean giving up—it means trusting that your energy is better spent elsewhere. Name what you’re ready to release control over.
Day 6: What would my life look like if I stopped worrying about what others think?
Visualize a version of yourself that isn’t ruled by fear of judgment. What would you do differently? What would change?
Day 7: What do I gain when I “let them”?
Reflect on what you reclaim—peace, energy, freedom, authenticity—when you stop holding onto things that don’t serve you.
Bonus Prompt:
What does “letting them” NOT mean to me?
Clarify that this mindset isn’t about indifference or emotional shutdown. It’s about boundaries, alignment, and reclaiming your time and truth.
In Conclusion . . .
Journaling with the spirit of Let Them at your side is like cutting the cords that have been silently draining your emotional battery. Each prompt is a gentle nudge back to your authentic self, the one who doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for their peace, joy, or boundaries.
You don’t have to prove anything.
You don’t have to fix anyone.
You don’t have to be liked by everyone.
Let them. And keep going.
The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbin’s will help you bring clarity to your own vision by erasing your reliance on other’s opinions of you.
