Getting Started with Journaling

Start a fresh page, and write from your heart:

What’s most important today, for me? … and what outcome would I love to see?

What am I feeling now?

What do I need?

What resources will I call upon, to make today more joyful and satisfying?


Or shop around for an approach that suits you. For example:

Gratitude Journal
is.gd/gratitudejournal
Morning Pages
is.gd/morningpages
Bullet Journaling
bulletjournal.com
Personal Retrospective
is.gd/personalretro
Start your own  Journal Prompt Jar  is.gd/journaljar

Or use a Journaling Prompt:

  1. Write 1 page inspired by a quote or folk saying.
  2. List what makes you happy.
  3. “The most surprised I’ve ever been was …“
  4. What did you do as a child that you’d love now?
  5. Done with something? Write it a farewell letter.
  6. What made you feel good this week?
  7. “3 things I‘d do if I had the courage/time/“
  8. How would your best friend describe you?
  9. Write 1 page inspired by a piece of art or music.
  10. What’s your (perhaps secret) superpower?
  11. List 12 people you admire: living, dead,
  12. Describe the best job you ever had (or never had).
  13. List ways your life is different from your parents‘.
  14. “If I could change the world…“
  15. Write your 5-point No Compromise list.
  16. List: What to remember next time things go wrong.
