6 Prompts for Beginners in Journaling
It’s February and it’s time to revisit our journals. (And start writing a single sentence in them.)
I’m going to give you 6 prompts that can hopefully get you started.
1. What am I grateful for today?
Sample entry: I’m great for my dog. He always has the best energy, and I love when every morning he smothered me with kisses.
2. What is something I learned today?
Sample entry: I learned that not everybody likes butter on toast.
3. What are some things that bring me joy? (In general or today)
Sample entry: Something that made my day today, was my sweet neighbor bringing me a nice toasty casserole dish in winter. It was a great surprise, and it was the thing that cheered me up today.
4. What are some ways that I can take care of myself today?
Sample entry: I did 10 minutes of mindful breathing. And honestly, I think it was the best way of starting my day.
5. What are some things that I am looking forward to?
Sample entry: My trip to Banff in the summer with two of my friends. So excited. Cannot wait!
6. What are some things that I want to do in the future?
Sample entry: I would like to professionally sing and record my music. I know it’s a far-off dream, but I really want to do it.
I hope these prompts can guide you through journaling. If you veer off and talk about something completely different, it’s fine.
