The Best 35 Journaling Prompts For Beginners

Hey hey my lovely entrepreneurs,

Today, I want to share with you the best journaling prompts you can use, when you are just starting out on your journaling journey. 

These prompts come from a place of deep understanding of what we all need every now and then – and that is some kick-A self love!

Committing to taking care of yourself, loving who you are and envisioning who you can become is one part of the journaling process that I love and treasure.

I want you to feel that exact moment, that shift, you will encounter when you are taking your self care seriously.

I also want you to be incredibly present to your needs, you dreams, and I also hope you will be mindful to your past, shine in your present and look forward to your future.

Self care can have many facets, it’s not just slapping on a face-mask and burning a candle.

Self care is also taking care of your mind and your mental health. Your mental wellbeing is more important than having an Instagram-filtered looking face! Even if we all want gorgeous skin, looking after what is inside is probably the best gift you can give yourself.

So devour these prompts, without moderation, and don’t hesitate to come back and let me know what you thought. You don’t have to use the exact ones- don’t hesitate to spruce them up to fit your needs.

These are just suggestions that are going to help shape how you wish to journal, stick to it, but also love the process.
