Strategic Journaling: 25 Journal Prompts to help inspire you!

Journaling isn’t just about putting pen to paper – it can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, stress relief and personal growth. But we all know that sometimes the words just don’t flow. 

That’s where this blog comes in.  I have tried to provide you with a variety of thought-provoking, creative and insightful prompts designed to help you explore your thoughts, spark your imagination and make journaling a meaningful part of your daily routine.  Let’s turn the blank page into a canvas for your thoughts, ideas and dreams!

To set your intentions:

1. What are my intentions?
2. What am I grateful for?
3. My affirmations for the day.

To reflect:

1. What was my highlight of the day?
2. What was my lowlight of the day?
3. What are my takeaways?

For a productive day:

2. Spiritual quote or bible verse of the day.
3. Where am I spiritually currently?
4. How can I share one gift God gave me with others?
5. What do I think God is teaching me or showing me right now?
6. What do I personally need God’s help with right now?
7. Three things I want to pray for today.

For self-discovery:

1. What do I like most about myself?
2. How would I describe my favourite version of myself?
3. What am I good at?
4. What do I want to be remembered for?
5. What would I like to improve about myself?
6. How can I change the way I show up to better reflect where I am going?
7. What actions, routines or habits would someone who loves themselves introduce to their lives?

These are all I will be sharing with you for now, but the list is endless. You would have noticed that in most of these, there is a journaling prompt for gratitude.  There is nothing like starting your day or even your week on a thankful note. 

If you ever experience feelings of being uninspired, stressed, stagnant or sometimes overwhelmed with everything that is going on in your life, perhaps journaling strategically could be your thing.  Take it one day at a time and if you cannot do it daily, journal every couple of days or even once a week.  It will certainly have a positive impact on how you show up in the world.

Journaling can truly transform your life!
