75 Journaling Prompts to Cultivate Your Daily Writing Habit

Remember the ‘But What do I write?’ section from our last ‘All You Need to Know to Start Journaling’ blog? You can catch up on it here. Despite that resource, many of our self-care club members still felt a bit stuck when it came to starting their journaling practice.

I understood that the struggle often stemmed from not knowing where to begin. So, I decided to create this blog just for you. Here, I’ve gathered some prompts with care to gently guide you along your journey toward making journaling a beloved habit.

I have organized them into different categories, making it easier for you to choose what resonates with you each day.
