I thought to myself, “What’s up? I had something like this a few months ago as well.” A few weeks ago, I had a stomach virus for a few days. How long did it take before my back felt better? I always ask this question in the Day One app because I can search in my entries. When I’m injured, I write about it so I can use this information in the future. This is a great journaling prompt that will motivate you to get moving.Īnd if you didn’t work out because you’re sick, that’s fine. And look, you don’t have to go crazy every day. Just by asking myself this question, I’m more likely to pursue that goal. My goal is to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. Did you work out? If so, what did you do? If not, why not? We should only be aware of our behavior and have a desire to improve, if necessary. I would lose the last sentence, that’s where you judge yourself. Many of us write something like, “I can’t believe I ate a whole Hershey bar. Again, it’s important to write about yourself without judgment. By writing about your diet, you automatically become more conscious of what you consume. And awareness usually leads to change eventually. The process of writing about how you feel creates awareness. Simply write about how you feel without any form of judgment. You don’t have to judge or come up with ways to improve right now. How do you feel?ĭid you wake up energized or tired?

To give you some inspiration, here are 10 journaling prompts I regularly use. It’s similar to Peter Drucker’s feedback analysis a practical, long-term strategy for knowing yourself better. The purpose of journaling is to track your progress over a period.īy asking yourself the same questions consistently, you can see how you respond as your life circumstances change. It’s useless to journal once or twice a year. I stick to prompts that trigger self-reflection-and I stick to a small list of questions that I keep repeating to myself. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a little push to get started. However, writing doesn’t always happen by itself. But a person who believes in the power of writing doesn’t need to be seduced to write more. It almost seems like they think you need to trick people into writing more. And people come up with the weirdest prompts. Every journaling app or article about the topic uses them. I’m not really a fan of journaling prompts because it’s turned into a gimmick.
