December Journal Prompts for end of year and closure to 2021

It’s been such an honor to guide you through 2021 with journal prompts every month. For those of you that respond to me via email, DM or messages, thank you!  I love hearing from you all! If you have not taken time to write back yet, please do! Also,  If you have not downloaded the worksheets every month, go back and do it now as this is a great time of year for reflection. 

Journaling allows you to put all of the thoughts from your brain and put them down on paper to help you store, organize, and process the information at a later time. Writing down everything, including your feelings and emotions, can help you process them better. By taking notice, we can start to identify patterns, habits, activities, and thoughts that may be holding us back. In other words, Journals help us to facilitate personal growth. 

We can also pinpoint the solutions and tools we are already using that work by using our journal for self-reflection which helps you track your overall development. In addition, journals help you have a better connection with your Values, Emotions, and Goals.  Essentially, it works to improve insight and understanding and gives you a glimpse into who you really are and where you are going in life. There are several ways to journal, including bullet journaling, writing down words without complete sentences, to a more traditional approach by beginning with a blank page and writing about your day.

However, if you're like me and need a little help getting started, then try using a prompt. One of the best things about journaling is that it can relieve stress and anxiety. Sometimes just the simple act of writing your thoughts out can help you feel relief. 

So, what are you waiting for? Here are some of my favorite journaling prompts for self-discovery in December. 

  1. How are you today, really? 

  2. What would your ideal day look like?

  3. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to try that you haven’t yet?
