In this episode, I share journaling prompts that are great to work through when you are feeling overwhelmed or a little lost about what to focus on or prioritise.

Journaling tips:

  • If you're unsure how to respond to a prompt, try writing "I'm not sure how to respond to this prompt but the thoughts that immediately come to mind/are currently on my mind are..."

  • If you stop writing before the music ends, you can go back to the prompt and ask yourself "And? What else?" or you can simply read over what you've written and highlight/circle/underline anything that stands out or that you might want to come back to.

You can also subscribe to the podcast here.

By subscribing, not only will you be supporting the podcast, you will have exclusive access to a journaling prompt pack for each episode. Each prompt pack not only contains the prompts for the episode but additional prompts you can use throughout the week or whenever you open your journal wanting to write but not knowing where or how to start.

You can also download a free journaling guide to help you (re)start and maintain a regular journaling practice.

NB: Please keep in mind that while journaling is often considered a therapeutic practice, it is not therapy.

There are times when journaling may surface difficult, challenging or upsetting thoughts, memories and emotions. If this happens for you, you can press pause, skip forward to the next prompt or simply end the episode. The most important thing is to take care of yourself.

If you feel you need help with your mental health and wellbeing, please reach out to an organisation and consider finding a professional to support you.
