50 Journaling Prompts For Self-Love & Self-Discovery (March 2021)

My new addiction as of lately has been journaling, as it has helped keep me grounded and reminds me of all the things I have to be grateful for in this life of mine. Since I’ve noticed a huge energy shift in the way I view my life, priorities, and career, I personally want to talk about journaling more on my platforms so that I can encourage more people to try it out for themselves! In all honesty, I never believed in the power of journaling and thought it was just something that wouldn’t make any impact in my life. However, when I actually tried it for the very first time, I kept on writing and found that I could continue writing even after 30 minutes. That’s when I knew how powerful journaling was.

Thus, I wanted to share 20 journaling prompts with you guys for those who love to journal on a daily basis like me or if you’re feeling a bit uninspired and don’t know how to get out of that rut. Whether you’re feeling empty, purposeless, unfulfilled, or unhappy at this current point in time, trust me when I say that journaling will help you pour your thoughts from your mind to paper and you will feel more clarity in your life afterwards. That clarity can be used to do magnificent things in your life.

So, let’s get started.
