Journaling Prompts

Here at Masha Plans, I’m helping you and thousands of others to discover journaling and planning. This particular page is about a specific type of journaling – the daily pages you write to yourself.

Journaling prompts are the easiest way to start writing when the blank page feels like too much. I’ve been journaling since 2018, and I still reach for a good question when I don’t know what to write.

This page brings together all of my journaling prompts in one place, from morning prompts to prompts for mental health, gratitude, and reading. Pick the theme that fits how you feel today, open the full post, and write for five minutes.

The list is also constantly updating, so be sure to check back regularly.

This is my collection of all the journaling prompts on the blog, sorted by what you might need on a given day. You’ll find prompts for starting and ending your day, for each season and month, for your feelings and self-reflection, and for your reading and creative journals.

Not every prompt will work for everyone, and not every prompt will work for you every day. Some will make you write three pages, and some you’ll look at and skip right away, and that’s completely normal. I can’t tell you which ones will click, so I’d recommend trying a few from different categories and seeing which ones you keep coming back to.

And to be fair, there are no wrong answers when it comes to prompts. Even if you answer a question in one sentence, or abandon it halfway through, you still stopped for a moment and thought about it, and that’s already a win.

Ok, let’s look at all the different categories and find your first prompt.

Journaling Prompts To Start With

Let’s start with some general prompts. They will help you dive into the practice, get the feeling for it, and eventually decide in which direction you want to take your journaling adventures.

Daily Journaling Prompts

Next up are the daily journaling prompts. I think it’s the best way to journal – on a daily basis- and these prompts will help you not only establish the habit, but also bring more clarity to the start and end of your day.

Seasonal Journaling Prompts

Here are some prompts that are more connected to seasons and special yearly events. I think it could be fun to try out something different as the years go on and the seasons change.

Emotional Journal Prompts

I truly think journaling is a wonderful way to look deeper into yourself, learn more about who you are, and connect with your own emotions.

That’s why I gave it its own category here, and I definitely recommend you try these.

Reading & Creative Journaling Prompts

Last but not least are some fun, creative prompts. You can journal about that kind of stuff as well, and it can be beneficial in many ways.
