35 Morning Journal Prompts to Help You Get Your Life Together and Become “That Girl” (Your Way)

Self Discovery Morning Journal Prompts to Help You Find Yourself

I don’t know about you but I feel like the world is constantly trying to put me in a box of some sort. If you’re black then you should think this way. If you’re a woman you should feel that way.

It gets a little old and you might feel the same way! I am a woman who is trying to become more of who God wants me to be but it can be hard to find your identity in a society that wants to pigeonhole you.

So what you have to do is deliberately use tools like self-discovery journaling so that your true self doesn’t fade. Now I personally believe that everyone should find the core of their identity in Christ but I know many people don’t agree.

However, that is the frame of mind I was in when I created these prompts and I hope you’ll stick around no matter what! Because I believe these self-discovery journal prompts will help anyone no matter what they believe.

And of course you could use these prompts at any time of the day. However, I believe using them in the morning will set you up for a successful and productive day!

And I know you may be there thinking, well starting the day with these prompts is easier said than done considering how much you have to juggle through daily.

But let me remind you that it’s possible. I face the same challenges myself and one of the ways I’ve learned to keep my sanity and get my life back on track is by using self-discovery journal prompts.

Plus, I’ll explain what I believe “becoming that girl” really means! 

I encourage you to follow me closely as I share with you tips that can help you discover yourself and take control of your life and emotions.Continue reading

3 Must Have Faith Journal Ideas to Help You Stay Focused During Quiet Time!

If you’re looking for some faith journal ideas to take your Bible study routine up a notch then you are right where you need to be my friend! 

Faith journaling is a spiritual practice that involves writing down your thoughts and reflections in a journal as a way of deepening your relationship with God and cultivating an intimate worship experience.

While journaling, you can record your thoughts, prayers, dreams, or anything that you feel like you want to reflect on and explore. It is an excellent way to create a space for reflection and self-exploration.

With journaling, you can explore and process your thoughts, feelings, and dreams in a very creative way.

There are many ways to go about journaling—you can start with free-form writing and then move to third-person writing, create a prayer journal, or even begin a gratitude journal.

You can journal just about anything, including your hopes and dreams, your feelings, experiences, observations, creative ideas, and much more! Journaling is a great way to get in touch with yourself, reflect on your life, and have a conversation with God.

It is a wonderful and creative way to spend time with God and receive His guidance, love, and encouragement.

Have you ever tried faith journaling? If not, then you must try it! I know everyone’s always telling you to try this or that but I promise you this time it’s different.

When you create a faith journal, you begin to explore your relationship with Jesus, study the Bible, and pray in a whole new way.

It really is life-changing. Once again, an overused phrase but think about it. How could a strong relationship with God NOT be life-changing? Nearly impossible!Continue reading

22 Morning Journal Prompts for Anxiety (From Someone Who’s Been There)

Oh yes…my dear friend Anxiety. We meet again. You know, I’d like to say that I didn’t miss you but sometimes I just look for a reason to be anxious.

That’s the feeling of “I’ve been plagued by anxiety for so long that I just don’t feel right if I’m not spinning about something”. Maybe you can relate to grabbing onto anxiety and holding on for dear life.

But I know that having one paranoid and unfounded thought after another circling around in my head is not healthy. So I’ve got something for anxiety this time. If anxiety thinks he’s sticking around this time, he’s got another thing coming.
