Journaling Prompts

       Here is a list of journaling prompts I have used over the last 406 (and counting) days of my journaling. There is plenty to choose from! Journaling is a great way to manifest what you want, work through inner issues, connect with your inner child, and so much more! There is no set time limit on how long to journal or meditate, just as long as you do it once a day. I personally like to do mine shortly after waking to set the intentions of my day.
