Daily Journaling Prompts & Affirmations for September
Journaling has been a huge part of my life. It started as a way to jot down my feelings when I felt overwhelmed with life. But then it morphed into a daily habit that has changed my life for the better.
Every morning I make my coffee and grab my journal. I make a list of what needs to get done with my business. I write down my daydreams. I write down financial goals, for the day and the month.
Then I choose a writing prompt and write a short paragraph, just to get my brain working so I’m ready for the day without the brain fog I was so used to.
Do you know how long this takes me? About 10-15 minutes each morning. That’s it!
Take a minute to look through this month’s journaling prompts. Don’t skip over the ones that will bring out all the feelings. Those are the ones that will help you the most.
Choose ONE prompt each day and dedicate 5-10 minutes to writing your answer. If your time runs longer because you have a lot to write, it’s okay. Keep writing!
Be as creative as you like here…the sky’s the limit!

I used to keep a journal full of lists that I sort of scrapbooked with photos. I haven’t seen it in a long time so I’m hoping that it’s safely packed away in my shed.
Let me know in the comments if you like this idea and I will come up with some prompts and a fun monthly challenge. — How about in December with a focus on the different aspects of the holiday season? Sort of like a Christmas memory journal.

JOURNALING SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND
Even though you only need a pen and paper, here are some of my favorite journaling supplies if you want to check them out:
I like to use a few different notebooks for journaling but my favorite is this Leuchtturm1917 Softcover. I prefer the squared pages but you can also get the dot grid, lined, or blank formats.
If you would rather use a spiral binding, these notebooks are the best! I love that they come in a three-pack so I always have an extra one on hand. These are also squared format but I think they are available in line and dot grid too.
To be honest, my go-to pen is a simple, classic black Bic but when I want something a little fancier I use either use these Muji Gel Pens or these Micron Sakura Pigma.
Get creative with your journaling and add some Washi Tape, Stickers, or if you’re artistic you can draw your own doodles.
Sometimes I like to add photos to my journaling and over the years I’ve tried a bunch of different printers. I started out using this Fujifilm Instax Mini but it wasn’t very practical to carry around all the time. Since the quality was so much better when I use my phone for pictures I decided to splurge on the Canon Ivy Mini Printer. It connects directly to my phone through the app and easily prints on 2x3 sticker photo paper that I can add right to my journal page instantly.
I hope today’s post inspires you to pick up your journal and start writing! Here are a few Everyday Journaling Prompts to get you started.
