10 top journaling prompts for good mental health
Every morning I write a journal. On the days when I don’t write, I really notice it in my mental health. It doesn’t take long after not writing for my mental health to back up, like a gutter clogging with leaves, and I can’t work out what I feel anymore, or what is prompting me not to feel good about myself.
Keeping a journal is a way to keep the water of my mind flowing fresh and clear.
However, in keeping a journal, sometimes things can get stale. What I do then is to shake it up a bit. I try for example to add extra descriptive passages, to really tell the story of my day. I try to outline and name the emotions that I’m feeling. I try to name my goals. It’s good to have a fresh focus for journaling, it helps you to keep moving it forward.
Here are some easy prompts to get you going on your journaling journey — you will really see the benefits.
