15 Journal Prompts for Life Changes
The leaves are starting to change, and maybe it’s time to make a change in your life, too. Maybe you’ve fallen off the wagon of working on your New Year’s Resolution, or maybe you’re just itching for something new. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, like you don’t know what needs to change, or perhaps you know exactly what needs to change but you just don’t know how to do it. One way to work through your thoughts is by journaling. Journaling can be a great way to reflect on your life and how you spend it. Try using these prompts to contemplate what changes you’re needing in life right now, and consider how to make those shifts:
1. How are you doing on your goals for 2019? Acknowledge the goals you’ve accomplished thus far, and reflect on the goals you’re still working on. Recognize your progress towards your goals, even if you haven’t achieved them yet.
