Scientific studies show how writing can benefit  your emotional and physical wellbeing. Journaling helps you cope with experiences and can prepare you to face similar experiences in the future.

“Journal therapy is all about using personal material as a way of documenting an experience and learning more about yourself in the process”, Kathleen Adams, psychotherapist and author of Journal To the Self, told The Huffington Post. “It lets us say what’s on our minds and helps us get- and stay- healthy through listening to our inner desires and needs.”

I challenge you to journal regularly for 30 days, to begin making journaling a habit. That doesn’t mean you have to write every single day. Maybe begin with regularly journaling 3 to 4 times a week.

Print the Creating a Habit tracker (pictured below), in the April Journaling Prompts and Inspiration download and hang it where you will see it often as a daily reminder.

Tips for Creating a Journaling Practice

  • Journal first thing in the morning
  • You don’t have to use full sentences. Leo Babauta of Zen Habits, writes in bullets with 2-6 bullet points daily depending on the day.
  • Combine work and personal journal topics
  • Use the habit tracker as a daily reminder
  • Don’t skip more than 2 days and try to go back to catch up

  1. These are some amazing ways to self-reflect <3 I began using habit tracker and it really has helped me do more and achieve more out of a day! Journaling has brought things into perspective for me and I would love to use these prompts to become more self-aware!

  2. Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been journaling more than normal since I bought my boat and this is a great list to refer to when I need additional inspiration!

  3. I usually only journal when I am overcome with a certain emotion, or have just created a memory that I really don’t want to forget, but I still love it. It’s such a calming task to do, and I am looking forward to reading back through them as I grow older.

    I have been thinking that perhaps I should do some more self reflection entries so I can really see how much I change throughout the years. I’ll definitely keep these prompts in mind for then!

  4. Ooo, love the daily journaling ideas! I’m going to do it! Journaling is so good for you even on a neurological point in the brain. It lights up the same areas as happiness! Thanks for this post!

  5. So I really like the prompts and taking the time for self reflection. However, I’m not really into journaling. But while on my long training run yesterday, my headphones died with 6 miles to go, so I had a lot of time for self-reflection and I actually thought about quite a few of the above prompts!

  6. I love all of these and think spring is a perfect time to reflect since it’s a time of renewal. Will be planning my summer bucket list soon!

  7. I love love love these prompts. A friend just sent me a journal in the mail – definitely going to use some of these to get me back to journaling 🙂

  8. These are fantastic prompts…which if I started journaling I would definitely need to use. My grandma journals every single day. She has stacks of journals from the last 10 years or more. What do you do with your journals? Do you save them or get rid of them?

  9. I think it might be a good idea for me to start journaling. I like the idea of prompts and I feel like I might write more if I know what I need to write about.

  10. I LOVE these prompts! Your blog looks really interesting. I am thinking about subscribing to
    your blog. I’m going to download some of your items. Great post! 🙂

  11. Wow, these are fantastic! I’ve never used prompts before, but I am going to try this out in April. I downloaded everything and have the calendar printed out and ready to go :] I also joined the Pinterest board for even more ideas. Thanks!
