In this episode, I share journaling prompts that are great for starting your day more intentionally and taking a moment to check in with yourself.
You can also use these journaling prompts at the start of each week, month or even at the start of a new year.
If you're unsure how to respond to a prompt, try writing "I'm not sure how to respond to this prompt but the thoughts that immediately come to mind/are currently on my mind are..."
If you stop writing before the music ends, you can go back to the prompt and ask yourself "And? What else?" or you can simply read over what you've written and highlight/circle/underline anything that stands out or that you might want to come back to.Sign up for the newsletter - Notes on Journaling and or visit the website for more free journaling prompts, tips and resources.
NB: Please keep in mind that while journaling is often considered a therapeutic practice, it is not therapy.
There are times when journaling may surface difficult, challenging or upsetting thoughts, memories and emotions. If this happens for you, you can press pause, skip forward to the next prompt or simply end the episode. The most important thing is to take care of yourself.
If you feel you need help with your mental health and wellbeing, please reach out to an organisation and consider finding a professional to support you.
