WHAT ARE JOURNAL PROMPTS?
Journal prompts are guided questions to encourage exploring new topics and reflection of oneself. Guided questions sometimes vary by specific topics such as healing, self-love or self-discovery, gratitude, stress and much more. So, whether you're pursuing personal growth or development in a specific area, or would simply enjoy writing suggestions, then journal prompts are for you!

Guided journal prompts are beneficial to those who want to write in a journal for healing but aren't sure what to write about. And, they're also a great way for those who keep a daily journal to switch things up and add something new to their time of reflection. Here are a few benefits of using journal prompts for inner or emotional healing:
• Helps you become aware of thoughts and feelings
