Expressive Writing
(intuitive, emotional release, self-awareness)
Expressive Writing lets your thoughts, feelings, and experiences flow freely onto the page without worrying about grammar or structure. Tune into your intuitive voice, vent, reflect, or explore memories and emotions.
Over time, this practice uncovers insights, builds self-awareness, releases emotions, and helps you trust your inner voice.
Journaling Prompts:
How are you feeling right now? Can you give the feeling a shape or colour? Try to write about it.
Think of a memory that still makes you feel something strong—what happened?
What thoughts or worries have been bouncing around in your head today?
Is there a part of you that feels ignored or left out? Write or draw what it wants to say.
Just start writing or doodling without thinking—what comes out?
Is there a feeling that’s hard for you to deal with? Write about it.
Write a letter to someone (they could be far away or gone) and say what you didn’t get to say.
Think about a time recently when you felt really happy, alive, or connected—what was that like?
What is your body trying to tell you today? (Tired, excited, nervous…?)
Is there a dream, thought, or feeling that keeps coming back? What might it mean?
If you could let out everything without worrying what anyone thinks, what would you say?
Ask yourself: what kind words or support do you need to hear from your own heart today?
