Hey Love,

I hope you are doing well. In one of my posts, I talked about how journaling taught me acceptance. Today, in this post I will take this journaling series further and give some journaling prompts so that you can start your journey with yourself.

As Rumi said, “And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?” so start it today, and have a privilege to know yourself better.

Journaling Prompts

1. How am I feeling right now? Why am I feeling this way?: It is important to ask these basic questions to yourself because these questions will not only get you started but also, will help you in acknowledging thoughts and feelings which we sometimes don’t consider important but are very important.
2. What was my biggest lesson this month?
3. What is my vision for the future?
4. What does my dream life look like?
5. What should I do more of (or less of) to be healthier and happier?
6. When do I feel most relaxed?
7. How do I feel when I am alone and I am doing nothing?
8. Describe the most memorable moment of your life?
9. Write down a forgiveness note (for yourself or maybe someone else).
10. Write about 2 people who inspire you. Which traits of these personalities inspire you the most? Do you want to inhabit these traits? If yes, what is one thing you can do to inhabit it?
11. What is the best advice you have ever given?
12. What is one thing about yourself that no one knows?
13. Make a list of everything that brings you joy.
14. What habits/distractions cause hindrance in your productivity? What can you do to avoid them?
15. One goal on which you would love to work on for the next 3 months.
16. Do you truly like and enjoy your rest time? Does it bring you happiness and refreshment?
17. What do you love about yourself?
18. Write down the type of person you wish you could be. What can you do to bridge the gap between the person you are and the person you want to become?
19. What do you want to be remembered for? Are you working on it?
20. What does your ideal day look like?
21. What is the value you want to provide through your life?
22. What would you do for yourself if no one in the world will judge you? Is there something you would do and you are not doing it right now?
23. How do you respond in the time of crises?
24. Write a letter to your body. Reread it, do you find love in it?
25. What does a good morning routine look like to you? Is there any difference between your current morning routine and this ideal morning routine?
26. Make a bucket list.
27. What is the best thing about the place where you live?
28. Which is the most beautiful place you have ever been to? How does it make you feel?
29. What does your ‘best self’ look like?: In the time of crisis, you can also ask yourself how your ‘best self’ would act in this situation.
30. Describe the recent time when you felt joyful.
31. Describe your three favourite smells. How do they make you feel?

Prompts when you are feeling low.

At times when you have been feeling low constantly, you can use these journaling prompts.

1. What do you need to hear right now?
2. Recently I’ve been feeling…
3. How do I want to feel?
4. What is no longer serving me?
5. What can I do to love this scared part of me?
6. What situations trigger my emotions more?
7. What is the worse which can happen?
8. Can I survive this worse thing?
9. What can I control right now? What is out of my control? Where should I put my energy and focus more on?

And, that’s it, I hope you like these prompts. If you are still wondering how you can make journaling a regular habit, give this post a read.

I will see you with the next post, till then keep celebrating life!

Bye,

With Love,

Komal
