Welcome back to the blog, LFT family! I’m back with a tough one, and it involves stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping into potentially new territory. I’m challenging you to answer one journal prompt each day — doesn’t have to be too long or anything like that. Even if you’re not a writer or someone who enjoys writing about your feelings, carve out a couple of minutes each day to reflect on the prompt of the day. These journal prompts will help with self-discovery, self-improvement, and more.
So, I hope this is as fruitful as you want it to be and that you develop a deeper understanding of yourself!
Day 1: Are you currently where you thought you’d be in your career? If yes, where would you like your career to go next? If your answer is no, what actions do you need to take to get to where you want to be?
Day 2: What was your favorite thing that happened today? Talk about why.
Day 3: If your teenage self saw who you are right now, what would they say to you? What would you say to them?
Day 4: How much time did you spend on your phone today? Is this normal for you?
Day 5: How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Do you feel well-rested, restless, or somewhere in between? If you didn’t sleep well or as well as you wanted, how can you change that?
Day 6: When reflecting on your day, do you find that you focus more on the bad parts of your day or the good parts of your day? What does your answer say about you?
Day 7: How often do you say, “Yes” when you really want to say, “No”? Whatever the answer, do you like this about yourself? If not, what do you want to do to change this?
