In today’s post, I am going to be sharing 50 journal prompts for self-discovery and personal growth
As of a few months ago, I have started a new life-changing morning routine which includes journaling.
Journaling is one of those things which I just didn’t get until I started doing it. I thought it was a waste of time but boy, was I wrong.
As corny as it sounds, journaling has helped me dig deep into myself as a person and learn things about myself I didn’t know before.
There’s something calming and personal about journaling that makes it one of my favorite daily rituals, and I am going to be sharing my favorite journal prompts which have helped me with self-growth.
Pin for later! 🤗

I used to journal a great deal and then put it aside. Now I focus more on my blogging, but not so much on journalling. This is a great prompt list, though 🙂
Thank you so much! 😊
This is a great post! I’m definitely going to be using some of these when I journal. xx

What great ideas! I find that journalling as a diary never works well for me because it gets repetitive, however prompts like this are so interesting to explore and, as you say, you really learn something about yourself.
I’m glad you think so because it really does help to learn about who you really are! I found out some nice, and some not nice things about muscle haha.
I’m definitely going to be saving this! I love journal prompts – I find you can learn a LOT about yourself from taking some time to work through them x
I agree wholeheartedly! I think it’s so peaceful and great for getting to know yourself better!
Great journal prompts. I write in a journal, and these prompts will definitely be good to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Thank you for stopping by😊
These are really good starter questions. I’ve heard journaling is very relaxing and therapeutic. Thanks for the inspiration!
My pleasure! I’m happy you found it inspirational. 😊

I’m sure you’ll fall in love with journaling! 😊
I’ll definitely try the “how did you grow over the last year” prompt. These are great for writers block!
Glad you think so!
These are excellent prompts and ideas and they help thought process with blogging! thank you for these! Great post😃
My pleasure! I’m glad you liked them. 😊
These are some great questions to ask yourself to not only grow personally but to become aware of what we already have. I love to journal and then go back to previous questions and re-answer them. Then I check them from past answers to see my own changes and growth!
That’s so interesting! I bet it’s great to go back and answer the same questions as you’ve answered previously and see how much you’ve grown!
I’m not much of a journal writer, but have on occasion. I like these ideas for self-growth.
Thank you!
I love journaling so this post was so helpful! Thank you for the ideas (:

I have never tried journaling but those prompts were so inspirational that I’ll definitely try it out! Thanks for sharing!

These are great journal prompts! Love the question about forgiving someone.
I think that definitely isn’t an easy one to journal about but it can be particularly healing!
Thank you so much for sharing these! I’ve been trying to incorporate journaling into my morning routine a lot more, but I haven’t really been able to focus my intentions properly. This is incredibly helpful!
Wonderful list. Have made a note of some of these! Thank you. 🌸
I really like the way you’re doing this journal. So I wrote all 50 in my journal and will be stating in a couple of days. Thank you so much.
