Journal Prompts

I usually don’t use journaling prompts — mostly because I like to use writing as a brain dump — but I thought these were particularly good if you’re blocked for what to write about but know you want to write. Or, if not journaling, they’re also good for just thinking about because they ask you to go deeper than a simple answer.

It’s not “what makes you anxious?” It’s “what makes you anxious, and where does that fear come from?” Should you keep the fear if you can’t figure out the origin?

I particularly liked #59: “What would the complete opposite of you look like?” Or #16 to get at the heart of what is important to you: “If I could have anything written on a massive billboard where you live, what would it be?” Or #26: “Who is someone you wish you had stayed in touch with?”

Have fun (or deep thoughts) with them.
