May Journal Prompts: Personal Growth in Spring
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and also the 16th month of the Journal Prompts. I have been getting so much feedback from all of you! Thank you for connecting, sending comments, and emailing back. As always, I love to hear from you. And if you have any ideas on themes and journal prompts I love hearing about those too.
We’ve all heard the saying “April showers bring May flowers,” right? Well, let’s follow nature’s lead. Are you excited about spring? If you experienced a particularly cold winter, then I know you’re ready to see your favorite flowers bloom again, and maybe spend some more time outside. And to those who enjoy warm weather year-round, lucky you!
I view the month of May as a time of revival and rebirth. 2 out of 3 of my boys were born in May too which might be why I think this too. The weather is starting to change, and it makes me feel hopeful for the future. It shows me that nothing lasts forever, so I have to keep working towards my goals.
It is also an opportunity to check in with yourself, redefine and assess your goals, and maybe even set new ones. Do you want to try a new activity or take another crack at an old one? I say go for it!
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that you shouldn’t wait to start actualizing your dreams. Don’t be afraid to make changes, fail, or try again.
Here are some prompts to provide clarity and direction as you pursue your short and long-term goals in 2022. Use these questions as a guide. Pick 1-2 or journal on all 10.
