Journaling prompts to
help you get started

Journaling prompts will help you get started by opening you up. Sometimes it isn’t easy to sit down and just start writing.

But most times that’s what we need to do to move past what we’re dealing with.

Journaling is a great way to express yourself fully and truthfully. You can write down everything you’ve ever wanted to say, everything you’ve ever done, and everything you’ve ever experienced.

You can make up stories that you want to come true or you can simple write down everything your grateful for.

Journaling is very personal and very unique to YOU. There is no right or wrong way to do it.

But if you are feeling lost for words, you can use these ideas to help you get started. You many need to use them the first few times but it will become easier and easier to write what’s on your mind without any help the more you do it.

These prompts are just questions to get you thinking and putting words to paper. There useful in the beginning but after awhile you’ll be more interested in asking and answering your own personal questions.

I have broken them down into categories such as – personal, relationship and self-discipline to get you started.

Journaling prompts for personal achievement –

• Who is the most important person in my life right now and why?
• What does personal development mean to me?
• Where do I see myself 5 years from today?
• When was the last time I read a personal development book and how did it change me?
• Why is self esteem building so important to me?
  
• Am I ready to make a life change?
• What life accomplishments do I value the most?
• What are the dominate feelings I have on a daily basis?
• What’s one failure I learned a lot from?

Journaling prompts for your relationships –

• What are my close relationships telling me about the person I am?
• Am I in an intimate and loving relationship? Why? or why not?
• Do I surround myself with loving and caring people?
• How do I allow others to treat me?
• How do I show my love and affection to the people I love?
• Where are my current relationships taking me?
• Who do I spend the majority of my time with?
• Do I feel compelled to maintain bad relationships?

Journaling prompts for mastering self-discipline –

• How do I manage my time?
• Do I take the time to write down my successes and failures for the week?
• Where do I go when I need to be alone to gather my thoughts?
• What are some of the daily habits that move me forward in life?
• Do I allow others to suck up my valuable time?
• Who do I need to connect with to challenge my believes about what’s possible?

Use these only as a guide to stir up thoughts, feelings, and emotions to write about.

So if the prompts don’t apply to you then just move on or ask yourself your own personal questions.

Journaling is very personal and it will become more natural the more you do it.

Using journaling prompts in the beginning will allow you to form the habit of keeping a journal, but after that, it’s more important to just write about what you’re personally going thought. Good or bad.
