Journal Prompt Ideas

Getting into journaling can be a little hard, yet so rewarding and healing. My daily/check in journaling turned into deep inner child/shadow work. When (therapy, groups, meds, etc) weren’t working, I started researching and digging for something to start healing. I deserved more and knew I needed to find something that’ll work. I would love to post more about my inner child work to help others who feel stuck and broken. Or like they can’t seem to move past it even after therapy.

I put different areas of prompts, some are more in depth some are just check ins to get you into the feel for journaling.

For me, when I journal I basically write out my thoughts and almost like I’m talking to myself. Seems crazy but it lets everything flow, your emotions, your conversations you would love to have, etc.

I hope this helps! #journalingforhealing #healingjournals #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork
