Sharing some journaling prompts you can use as we wrap up the last portion of the year.
Hiiii friends! Happy Wednesday! What do you have going on this week? My newest baby niece will be born this week and I can’t wait! I’m excited to put some baby meals together 🙂
Today, I wanted to chat about something that has changed my morning routine: journaling. I always heard people talking about it, but didn’t want to give it a try because it felt awkward and uncomfortable. I’m supposed to just… write?? Write about what? What if it isn’t good? What if someone reads it and was like wth is wrong with this person? It made me nervous to write something so effortlessly, without the power to brainstorm, strategize and delete.
But, during the time that shall not be named, something changed: I needed to dump my thoughts onto paper. I stopped caring about it being good, or perfect, but instead used it as a brain dump because my head was SO full of thoughts. It gave me clarity and peace, and since then, I’ve used it as part of my morning routine.
Usually my morning routine looks something like this (sometimes all of it happens, sometimes it’s in pieces broken up throughout the day, sometimes only one thing might happen):
My morning routine
Probiotic and a big glass of water
Meditate on my PEMF Go Mat (code is FITNESSISTA15) listening to binaural beats on Spotify for 7 minutes
Daily devotional/Bible study and prayer 10-15 minutes, listening to worship music on Spotify
Journaling 5-10 minutes about goals, a brain dump of thoughts, or where I see myself in the future. I write about these things like they’ve already happened. It’s been SO wild to go back to some of the things that I wrote in 2020 and every.single.thing has happened, even the ones that felt genuinely impossible.
After this, I’ll have breakfast (usually Daily Nutritional support and Truvani protein pudding topped with berries and hemp seeds or Nuttzo) and supplements, make a coffee and then get started on work
**Feel free to adjust your routine according to your unique beliefs and goals, and set yourself up for a peaceful and energized day.
Journaling prompts to use this fall
If you’re feeling stumped on the journaling portion, here are some prompts you can consider:
Reflect on your spiritual growth this year.
What lessons have you learned, and how have they shaped your beliefs and values? How is the version of you NOW different then the version of you at the beginning of the year?
What are three goals you want to achieve before the year ends?
Write about how you plan to work toward them, and the steps you’ll take to stay on track. Write about these goals as if they’ve already happened, the struggles you faced to acheive them, and how you handled these obstacles.
Visualize your dream life.
Describe it in detail, including your surroundings, relationships, and daily routine. Write about it as if it’s already happened. How can you start working this reality now? Create an action plan.
What spiritual practices make you feel most grounded?
How can you incorporate more of them into your routine? What makes you feel peaceful and calm? What strategies do you like to use each day?
Write a letter to your future self, one year from now.
What advice do you want to give yourself, and what accomplishments do you hope to have achieved? Write about these things as if they’ve already happened, and celebrate these things.
What limiting beliefs are holding you back from reaching your goals?
Explore how you can shift your mindset to one of abundance and possibility. Write down any limiting beliefs that are holding you back and how you can overcome them.
Set an intention for the season.
How do you want to feel throughout the fall and into the holidays? What actions can you take to align with this intention?
How do you nurture your spiritual connection during times of stress?
What rituals or habits can help you strengthen your spirituality this fall? Maybe it’s something like attending church or a Bible study, or even making time to be out in nature, meditating, reading, whatever works for you.
What are the signs that you receive when you’re on the right path?
Reflect on recent events or synchronicities that affirm your goals. When have things *worked out* even when it seemed hopeless?
Write about a personal goal you’ve been putting off.
Why haven’t you started, and what would it feel like to finally make progress? How can you take the first step? Create an action plan that you can follow.
What does your morning routine look like? What do you typically incorporate into your day? Are you a fan of journaling or not so much?
