Before we fully jump into the list of journal prompts I want to quickly share why journaling helps to improve yourself and my top tips for sticking to daily journaling.

So how does journaling help improve yourself?

• Journaling helps to organize your thoughts.
• Journaling gets your brain working and getting creative which can lead to new ideas.
• It can help you visualize your dreams.
• Journaling can reduce your stress and anxiety.
• Self discovery journal prompts can help you find how to improve yourself and your life.

Tips for daily journaling:

• Make it a part of either your morning or night routine. Whichever routine is the most stable for you and doesn’t change often.
• Keep your journal somewhere visible (like your nightstand) so when you see it you remember.
• If possible set a timer on your phone for the time of the day you prefer to journal.
• Make journaling it’s own little routine. For example, if you journal in the morning make it a routine to grab your journal, make your coffee, and then sit in the same quiet place to journal.

Now that you know why journaling can improve you and how you can journal daily it’s time to jump into the list of self improvement journal prompts!
