One of my favourite discoveries of the last months is journaling. I have already posted my evening journaling routine (which I will link here once I figure out how to) so today I want to share some more prompts with you, both daily ones and prompts for certain topics. So here goes!
What energy am I bringing into this new day?
Did I dream something? Could there be meaning to that dream?
In what ways can I make time for self care today?
What am I excited for today?
What are my goals for today? What do I need to do in order to reach them?
What little things do I want to be mindful of today? (e.g. eating consciously, paying attention to the breath when stressed, correcting posture when necessary etc.)
"Today in a post-it" (I use this as a way to summarise my day, my goals and intentions and keep a positive affirmation near me. I'll make a full post on this some time soon!)
What made me smile today?
In what way did I work towards towards my goals today?
How did my body feel today? (tracking any aches, soreness, maybe your cycle etc.)

Would/do I raise my own children the way I was raised?
What is my earliest memory?
Are there any objects I have kept from when I was a child? Why do I still have them?
Is there a smell/taste etc. that takes me back to my childhood?

Which animal is most similar to your character in your opinion?
If you close your eyes and imagine your comfort place, what does it look like?
