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.

You see, journaling has been one of my secret weapons when it comes to fighting anxiety (there’s another weapon too that I will share with you later on).

And I believe that if you use the 22 powerful and unique anxiety journaling prompts that I’m going to share with you today, it will slowly become one of your weapons as well.

These journal prompts are written by someone who has anxiety but has made tons of progress.

I pray that they will be a blessing to you on your road to recovery.

I would try writing these journaling prompts first thing in the morning so that you can start your day on a positive note, but that’s just me. 

Oh and I’ll also warn you…you may not like some of these journal prompts but I hope you’ll understand the spirit in which they were written.

Okay, let’s jump right in with the anxiety journaling prompts!Continue reading

15 Christian Gratitude Journal Affirmations For Women With ADHD Who Don’t Always Feel Grateful!

Christian Gratitude Affirmations For Your Gratitude Journal

Have you struggled to complain? No? Yeah, me either.

In fact, complaining and being discontented with your life is one of the easiest things to do. And yet, as Christian women, we are called by Christ to be grateful and thankful for our blessings. But this is can be hard to do so what can we do to make gratitude come a little bit easier?

Well, one of the best ways to quickly remind yourself of what you should be grateful for is by keeping gratitude affirmations in your journal.

Have you heard the hymn that says, count your blessings…name them one by one and it’ll surprise you what the Lord has done?

Well, there’s a reason why this song was written…and why gratitude is mentioned so often in the Bible. I’ve learned through the years that one of the ways to live a more fulfilled life is to first show gratitude for the things I already have.

If you struggle with having a spirit of gratitude, don’t worry! Today, I’ll share with you some Christian gratitude affirmations and how they can help you cultivate a grateful heart.Continue reading

15 Morning Gratitude Journal Prompts to Help You Start the Day Calm and Focused

 If you’ve ever uttered any of the following statements then you miiight wanna try using gratitude journaling prompts:

“Ugh, I don’t want to get up for work”

“I don’t feel like working out…I’m tired”

“Do I have to go to church” (or fill in the blank with the location of your choice)

“I don’t make enough money”

Oh yes, I’ve said some variation of all of these lovely complaints and I realized that I had to check myself and start thinking in a new way.

That’s where gratitude journaling prompts come in. The easiest thing in the world to do is complain and be negative. It couldn’t come more naturally to most people.

But it takes extra effort to be grateful and look for ways to have a more positive attitude.

I strongly believe, though, that using gratitude journaling prompts can be a powerful tool that will make positivity and thankfulness just a normal part of your routine…eventually.

No, Rome wasn’t built overnight nor will your new attitude. But give it time.

How Studying The Bible Is Life-Changing When You Feel Spiritually Tired!

8 Amazing Benefit Of Bible Study 

Have you ever felt like studying the Bible was just a task to be endured and checked off your to-do list? There are some Christians who have never felt this I’m sure but I’m sad to say that I am not one of them.

Setting aside time to study the Bible can frankly seem like an interruption to our busy day. Because what we are doing instead (you know scrolling through Facebook or Instagram) is so much more important. I hope you are familiar with sarcasm.

If not, then you might not have realized that I do not believe catching up on Facebook “news” is more important than reading the word of God. It’s just that it’s easy to get caught up in everyday life and seemingly not have any time to spend with the Lord.

If you’ve ever felt this way, then I sit back as I share with you 10 reasons why studying the Bible is awesome and vital to our relationship with the Lord!

Oh yeah, and this post contains affiliate links to great products that will help you in your health journey. I will get a commission if you decide to buy from these links. Please let me know if you have any questions. Continue reading

30 Goal-Setting Journal Prompts to Start Your Morning With Purpose & Clarity!

Intentional Journaling Prompts To Help You Find Meaning And Purpose In Your Life!

So ya’ll, I’m really excited about these intentional journaling prompts today!

Why? Because life without a purpose is like a drifting wind without direction and it’s so easy to drift when you don’t have intentional goals that you’ve set.

And I don’t want that for you! It’s like one minute you feel like you have it all together and the next minute, you don’t even know what your next move ought to be.

Once you start to feel this way, you’re likely to compare yourself to anyone who seems to have their life planned out.

You’ll ask yourself questions like:

• ‘Why me?’
• ‘Why is my life like this?’
• ‘Why can’t I commit to anything?’
• ‘What is wrong with me?’

This could come with several rounds of tears and after your pillow is soaked, you may still not have the answers.

I know that it can be a very painful place because you were created by God to have a purpose and live intentionally.

If this is you, I recommend using these intentional journaling prompts I’ll share next.

They will help you set intentional goals so that you can find meaning and purpose in all areas of your life. So what does that mean?

We will be setting goals in the following areas: spiritual, financial, physical health, and mental health because these are the things we talk about here on HAYC. So if you’re ready, let’s get started!
