Welcome to Journal Your Way. An offering of journal prompts and the stories that spark them. May they inspire you to journal!
Read Here about why journaling is such an integral part of my life.
Each month I do a Month-in-Review that reflects on my journaling, way of being, moods, intentions, dreams, to do’s, and highlights. I also reflect on what I’ve learned, wish to release, and bring into the next month.
As we slowly float our way through the rest of August, I thought reflecting a bit on your highlights might infuse joy into your life.
In addition, ponder on what else you’d like to do this month. Nothing can most certainly be on the list. At my recent workshop where I shared these prompts, nothing felt like:
Cloud gazing
Lounging
Reading
Floating
Walking in a garden
Sitting in a favorite chair with a cat purring
Word Search
Watching birds & squirrels
If it feels good doing nothing, it’s absolutely everything!
Here are other prompts to deepen your reflection if you’re called to:
What have I done this summer?
Where have I gone?
Whose company have I enjoyed?
Why?
What was my favorite activity, event this summer?
Why?
What brought me the biggest joy?
If I looked at all I did, who I spent time with, what I focused on, what does my summer, so far, reflect about me?
What sparkling moments am I still looking forward to and who do I wish to share them with?
What is my favorite Summer Doing Nothing?
