Self Discovery Journaling Prompts | March 2022
Being able to adequately express yourself isn’t something that comes naturally to some, or even most of us. But it’s very important for you to be able to express yourself and to express your wants, needs, and desires, as well as the things you don’t like, want, or need.
Being able to express yourself is necessary to live an authentic, fulfilling life and help you create the life of your dreams.
This month’s journaling prompts are all about self-discovery and learning how to express yourself. As you think about how you’re going to respond to the prompts, listen to yourself, your emotions, and your intuition.
Too often, early in life, we are taught (directly or indirectly) to hide our emotions and put on a happy face even if we don’t feel like it. It’s time to unlearn all of that!
The first step is to really feel the emotions that are inside you. Your first instinct may be to mentally run away from those feelings but try not to do that. Feel each emotion, no matter what it is, without self-judgment.
Your emotions are simply what they are and there aren’t any wrong emotions, only wrong ways that we’ve learned to react to them. So quiet yourself and allow yourself to feel because you can’t express yourself if you don’t know what you’re feeling.
Acknowledge whatever you’re feeling without judgment. By self-validating your feelings, you learn to seek answers from within yourself rather than always looking outside for the solutions.
Acknowledging your feelings might seem very frightening at first because you feel vulnerable. That’s okay. That feeling will go away once your mind realizes there isn’t really any need for fear.
Tune into how your body reacts to the emotions you’re feeling. Body awareness is very important in learning to express yourself as it is one of the best ways to gauge your comfort level.
If you feel yourself tensing up in response to an emotion, show your body and brain that everything is going to be okay by taking a few deep breaths. Close your eyes, acknowledge the feeling and then let it go. If you feel a particular part of your body tense up, consciously relax it.
Use your new awareness to find what works for you in terms of expressing yourself in your journaling and it will come much more naturally in your daily life.
Take a minute to look through this month’s daily 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!
