Prompts to Get Started
When it comes to journaling, your first thought might be of a diary with a lock and key. Maybe you kept one as a kid that you guarded from your sister or perhaps, you’re a free spirit who’s never seen the point in keeping a journal.
No matter which category you fall into, you should know there are many different types of journals. In fact, you can create a journal for just about any activity you do.

Journaling can improve your life in so many ways. One of the most important benefits is that it helps you discover yourself. You learn more about what you like and what you don’t. You begin to understand how you’re wired and what you want to create more of in the world.
That’s not the only thing that journaling is good for. It can also help you set new and exciting goals. Maybe, like me, you’re stuck in a rut and wondering what the next step is. Maybe you feel overwhelmed and want to get clarity before you make your next move.
You may already be clear on what you want to create more of in the world or know your goals. But you’ve encountered obstacles when you’ve tried to pursue what you want or you’ve faced a significant setback.
Journaling can still be helpful for you. Often, writing out what you’re experiencing can lead to new breakthroughs that you hadn’t considered before. This is because journaling encourages you to see your situation in a new light.
Use journaling to chart a different course, adjust your sails, or lean into a new adventure. You just might discover something new about yourself or the world around you!
