30 Prompts for Your Journal

Do you have a journal?
have you thought of starting one but don’t know where to begin?
Maybe you’ve just bought yourself a nice new book with lots of blank pages but now you’re are lost.
Where do you start?
What do you say? Read on for 30 prompts for your journal.

Putting down your thoughts and feelings is a vital part of being mindful and, trust me, looking back can be extremely helpful. I had my first journal in 1989, and I still have it.
It’s amazing to look back, through good times and bad. Your journal can be your best friend in times of need and something to make you smile because you can completely immerse yourself in that wonderful moment again.

Some people like to keep things really positive all the time and this is often why they write a gratitude journal. Writing things down that are joyful and light keep away the negative feelings and thoughts.

So, lets get back to the first questions, where to start and what to say?
If you really don’t know then here are a few prompts to get you started. Pick one, give it a little thought and then get writing. See where it takes you. It’s not exam, there are no right or wrong answers. Just put down how ‘you’ feel the prompt represents you.

Mindfulness Journals and Cards.

I have an online shop where I sell mindfulness journals and mind cards I did write a post here all about my shop and some of the things I have on offer.

Like I said at the beginning, you begin with a book. It’s always nice to have a nice book to write in and my books have 192 pages of either lines, or bullet point pages. They are soft back and gold debossed, and a pure delight to write or draw in.

I also have journals with lots of writing prompts already in them. Each week you can fill in your journal following the daily prompts, and still have space for all of your own thoughts and ideas. There are also pages to aid your mindfulness exercises by having pictures to colour or positive affirmations and many others.

If it’s prompts you are looking for you could purchase a pack of Mind Cards. I stock three different types;

Mind Cards, split into groups of kindness, ritual, gratitude, reflection and journal

Mind Cards Journal Edition, with lots of prompts for your journal writing

Mind Cards Kids Edition. A special pack of cards to teach kids about mindfulness and journaling.
