10 Journal Prompts for the First Timer

[Greeting]

This is for the first time journal writer. The person who understands the benefits of 
journaling, but has a hard time getting started.

Our absolute favorite method for starting to write in a journal is by using journal 
prompts, which are writing prompts that give you a topic to write about in your journal. 
They can be questions, statements, lists, and much more. 

Why Use Journal Prompts?

While it is easy to see the benefits of journaling, starting to write doesn’t come easily to 
everyone. Many people struggle with a topic to write about, or just don’t know how to 
get started on that first page. The following journal prompts can help you find a direction 
or a topic of what to write about when you first start journaling.


Now, let’s get to the prompts.

1. What are the top 3 things on your mind right now?

2. What is a past memory that always comes up at the worst time?

3. What is something you enjoyed as a child, but don’t do much anymore?

4. What would you change about your life if you could?

5. How do you deal with embarrassing situations?

6. What is your ideal way to spend a Friday night?

7. Are you happy with the career path you are on right now?

8. When was the last time you did something out of your comfort zone?

9. List 10 things on your life bucket list.

10. What is a hard lesson you have had to learn?
