30 Journal Prompts for Self Discovery

Let me set the scene; It’s morning, the sun is peeking through your window, that first beam of morning light acts as a gentle reminder that it’s time to wake up and start the day! You sit up for a moment as you fully awaken. You walk to the kitchen for your morning beverage of choice; maybe matcha, coffee, or tea. Then you go back to your bed for some reflection and journal writing. You open up your journal to a new page, and up until this point the morning has gone off without a hitch. But then the blank paper seems to stare at you and you realize that you have no idea what to write about…

It’s happened to the best of us. If you’re reading this post, I probably don’t have to break down the benefits of journaling. We know that journaling is incredibly cathartic and a great way to get intune with what’s going on inside, clear you mind, or work out something that’s bothering you. Journaling in the morning is especially beneficial because it promotes mindfulness for the rest of the day. That being said, we still have to figure out the mystery of what to write on those blank pages. I’ve got you covered! Today, I’m going to be sharing 30 insightful journal prompts that promote self discovery.

These 30 Journal prompts will not only help you get intune, they’ll also help you create a healthy journaling habit. Why self discovery?
