Daily Journal Prompts

Daily Journal Prompts
A daily journal can seem somewhat overwhelming. Who am I kidding? It can seem VERY overwhelming! Don't give up
before you even begin. It's much easier than it seems. There are just three things you need to get yourself started.
You need this list of questions, a writing utensil of your choice, and some type of journal. Get creative! You can use a
journal, index cards, note cards, a Smashbook, or any other thing you prefer. Now, all you need to do is use the
following prompts to journal a thought, a list or an answer a day. Don't stop there. Next year use the same set of
prompts and compare your answers to see what has changed in your life. It really is that easy. Good luck!
