Have you ever sat down with a journal, ready to pour out your thoughts and ideas, only to find yourself staring at a blank page, feeling stuck and uninspired? I remember feeling that way when I started my journaling practice. I would sit down with my notebook and pen, but I didn’t know what to write about. It felt like I was staring at a white canvas, with no idea of what to create.
But then, I discovered the power of journal prompts. They helped me explore my thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and inspired me to write about things I may not have otherwise considered. They gave me a direction to follow and helped me unlock my creativity.
