Ok ta gorgeous isn't it ... I love how gentle and yet expansive it feels ... It just fills me with inspiration 🙏 I'm so glad you enjoyed this Hayley. I hope it will be useful 🙂
I’ve just started using prompts and I love what I’m getting out of them! Also 36 and often wish I didn’t throw my childhood and teenage journals away, they would be so amazing to read now.
Prompts have really opened up my journaling like nothing else recently. I am so glad it is doing the same for you. It would be nice to read them back, although I fear I would cringe so much!!!
Yes the cringe factor is what led me to throw them out when I was in my 20s, but now I think I it would be quite endearing to see how 16 year old me felt after a heartbreak
Thank you for this post and the specifics of the questions to use in the journal. This topic has come up for me several times this week. Love the connection of slow living and writing as well.
Thank you Tammy - I am so pleased. I hope they help. I always think a good place to start is journaling, and I do try to make it my most regular writing habit.
I love how you link slow living with writing ✍️ Journaling feels like such a powerful, non-judgemental way to reflect and heal 💛 Your prompts are a great, pressure-free way to start. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
((feeling called out for keeping tons of journals with padlocks and keys in my teenage years))
And sometimes how the factories made it, they perfumed the sheets. I know it's not in the best interest of health to have perfumed journals, but it was one step further in sensory experience. And since I grew older, if I caught a whiff of a similar scent, it called forth this nostalgic feeling of the past.
Thank you so much! I've not used prompts for all that long really but I really love them ... Sometimes I will go through my notebook and pre- write a quote or a prompt I like at the top of the page and so I have places to begin when I need !
A beautiful post.
Love this quote “Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” William Wordsworth.
Going to explore why I love that quote.
Some great journal prompts, thankyou, and love the theme of a writers life, going to be inspiring for us all I’m sure 😊

It really would ! We'll have to let our imaginations run wild with our teenage woes and memories!

Awww Sekar! Me too! Me too! I absolutely know what you mean. But that is where the love of words and writing started! Precious memories.
These are great prompts. Sometimes a prompt is exactly what is needed to get started.
