Get your journal on!

Flirting with the idea of keeping a journal but unsure how to begin? Grab a pen and paper (or open a word document) and answer a few questions from the following list. Prepare to unleash the awesomely introspective (and maybe a little emo) girl living inside you!

Writing Prompts
How am I feeling?
What do I really want?
What are the 10 things I’m most grateful for?
Am I happy with my current lifestyle?
What are five things I’m confident about?
What are five things I’m insecure about?
What do I like about the world and society? What gives me hope?
What bothers me most about the world and society? What would I like to change?
When was the last time I felt deep emotion?
If I were offered a magic potion that would allow me to change one thing about myself would I take it? If so, what would I change?
In what ways do I want to grow?
What do I love most about myself?
What are 3 lessons I have learned recently?
What is my most secret desire?
In what ways am I challenging myself?
How would I describe my overall mood?
What are three ways I’m stereotyped both positively and negatively? What are some reasons why these stereotypes don't fit?
Where can I add more creativity to my life?
How can I serve?
Am I noticing patterns that I’d like to change?
What changes could I make to move forward in my life?

Happy journaling :)

  1. Love this post! I've been going back and forth on keeping a journal since the beginning of this year, but then put it off after I started my blog. These are really good things to think about and may be just the push I needed to actually put pen to paper :)

  2. I'm so glad! Journaling keeps me sane and has also proven to be a good way to brainstorm new blog post topics!
