Self-Reflection Journal Prompts

If you have been following the blog, you know that I am an avid fan of journals and journaling. Sometimes I use journal prompts to guide me in being intentional when I journal. Journaling is a great way to self-reflect.

I wanted to share a few journal prompts to kick start or help continue your journaling process. Feel free to use these journal prompts, screenshot these prompts for later use, and share them with someone you love.

Hope these journal prompts lead you to deeper moments of self-reflection. Happy journaling!

Until next time,

Self-Care Series: Journaling

journaling

Journaling is one of my favorite self-care activities. I naturally gravitate to journaling because I am a writer. But beyond feeding my passion for writing, journaling is extremely therapeutic! The process of journaling is simple…grab a journal, a pen/pencil, and start writing. Journals have a huge significance in allowing you the opportunity to re-center yourself. When you are centered your; communication improves, your stress levels reduce, you have better self-awareness, you find effective solutions to problems, and you become more emotionally balanced.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I have a journal collection addiction. I have a work journal, personal journal, gratitude journal, creative-thoughts journal, dissertation journal, and a journal just in-case I need an extra journal. I have always carried journals around since I was a child and not much has changed. When I journal no topic is off limits. I write about every topic/issue that concerns me because journaling creates an intimate space for me to be authentic, vulnerable, and shameless. Thus, the intended goal of journaling is to be the authentic, vulnerable, and shameless version of yourself.

If you already have a self-care practice of journaling or want to start a journaling practice…

Here are my top journaling tips:

  1. Find a journal that speaks to you
    • There are tons of journals with quotes and pictures. Find a journal that reflects who you are…or signifies who you would like to become.
  2. Find a sacred space to journal
    • Journaling can bring out many emotions, be in a space where your feel comfortable to release emotions.
  3. Journal often
    • The more you journal…the more you will be able to process experiences and emotions. This will lead you to a higher state of consciousness.
  4. Positive Affirmations
    • End your journal post with positive affirmations, be intentional with your words to manifest progress in the areas of your life you would like to improve.
    • I typically end my journal posts with hashtag affirmations like… #Imatter #Yougotthis #YourstrengthisBEAUTIFUL

Until next time…
