Introduction
Whenever we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in our lives, journaling is a great pastime that can help you decipher your thoughts and feelings.
There are plenty of different ways to journal, but sometimes, it’s easiest to start with a list of questions to get the wheels turning.
This is why I love journal prompts because it only takes one powerful question for me to turn inwards and get reflective.
The following is a list of journal prompts that I’ve put together to help you explore yourself, and to take a deeper look into your past, your present, and your future!
Remember, it’s important to take time to reflect on who you are and where you want to go! Choose any of the self-discovery prompts below to get started.
Good luck and happy reflecting!
