Sometimes when you sit down with a notebook, your mind goes blank. You want to write, but you’re not sure what to say. That’s where journaling prompts come in.

A prompt is a spark—an idea, a question, or a challenge—that helps you begin. Think of it like a treasure map for your thoughts: it points you in a direction, and your writing takes you on the adventure.

Prompts can be simple (“Write one word to describe your mood today”) or magical (“If the stars could give you advice, what would they say?”). They’re not rules—you don’t have to follow them exactly. They’re invitations to explore your feelings, imagination, and even nature through words, doodles, or lists.

The best part? There are no wrong answers. Your journal is your space, and prompts are just tools to uncover the stories, ideas, and wisdom already inside you.
