Journal Prompts for Finding Yourself

May 11, 20252 min read

Have you ever felt like you're walking through a fog, unsure about what's next? It's completely normal, and journaling can be a gentle way to help clear the haze.

On days when you feel a little lost, writing can ground you, providing clarity and connection to your inner self. So, grab your favorite notebook, a cozy spot, and let's explore some journal prompts specially designed to guide you back to yourself.


1. What’s One Thing That Made You Smile Today?

When everything feels overwhelming, it's easy to overlook the little joys. Reflect on a small moment from your day that brought a smile to your face.

It could be a warm cup of tea, a kind word from a friend, or a quiet moment of peace. No joy is too small to celebrate.


2. How Would You Describe Your Ideal Day?

While feeling lost, envisioning your perfect day can be both comforting and motivating. Paint a picture of what your ideal day looks like.

Where are you? What are you doing? This exercise can help clarify what's truly important to you, bringing you closer to understanding your desires.


3. What Are You Grateful For Right Now?

Even in uncertainty, there's always something to be grateful for. List three things you're thankful for at this moment.

Practicing gratitude shifts your focus from what's lacking in your life to what you already have, which can illuminate a path forward.


4. Who in Your Life Inspires You Today?

Think of someone who lights up your world. It could be a family member, friend, or even a public figure.

What is it about their actions, attitude, or words that sparks inspiration in you? Reflecting on inspiring individuals can reignite your own creative fire.


5. What’s a Challenge You’ve Overcome?

Remembering past victories can instill confidence when you feel adrift. Reflect on a difficult situation that you faced and the steps you took to overcome it.

Recalling your strength and resilience reminds you that you have the power to weather storms.

Embracing these prompts can help guide your writing journey towards self-discovery and creative empowerment. Each entry is a step towards anchoring yourself, finding clarity, and embracing the beauty of the imperfect and unknown.

MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom!
