Journal prompts can be extremely helpful if you find yourself uninspired whenever you sit down with your notebook. There’s certainly no shame in it. Countless people experience brain fog when it comes to sharing deep and intimate thoughts about themselves.
Although writing down your thoughts can be challenging, it can be very helpful on your journey to self-care and self-discovery. According to Healthline, “Just writing a few minutes a day may help you reduce stress, boost your well-being, and better understand your needs.”
Journaling also allows you time to reflect and gives you the wonderful opportunity to tap into your inner feelings. It also works wonders in supporting your wellness goals.
