Journalling Prompts & Questions for Adults
Below are some ideas and suggestions in the form of prompts and questions to help get you started when journalling.
Pick a prompt or question and begin writing without thinking too much – just see what emerges. Or spend some time reflecting first but again afterwards just start writing freely. The key is to not judge yourself or what you are writing.
Remember – as well or instead of – writing you can also draw, doodle and use whichever method of exploration works best for you.
Happy Journalling!
