20 Journal Prompts for Self Discovery

Journaling can resolve multiple issues festering inside your mind, it can be a way to climb out of a creative rut, and it can also be a way to truly get to know yourself. Journaling without a true purpose in mind can seem insignificant, but when you take those twenty minutes you spending journaling to practice self-discovery, it can be highly beneficial to moving you in the right direction. Below is a list I’ve compiled of 20 journaling prompts I’ve either written myself or found on the internet that I thought you’d find helpful –
