6 Morning Journal Prompts That Will Transform Your Day

Simply + Fiercely

A morning journaling practice is a wonderful way to begin a new day with clarity and purpose.

It can help you work through any thoughts and feelings that are clouding your mind and can also help you realign your to-do list with your goals and values.

If you’re new to journaling  (or you’re just looking for new ideas), these prompts will help you make the most of your writing session.

Use when: You feel stuck, unsure, or even a bit lost. Whenever you’re in a rut, a morning journaling exploration of how you want to feel (rather than what you want to achieve) is a great first step to lifting your mood.

Use when: You’re feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list. We all have times when we feel overwhelmed by the weight of our responsibilities. There’s so much that we want to do and be—but never enough time to get it all done.

What season of life am I in?

Use when: You need a pick-me-up. Whether it’s your first day back at work after a holiday or you’re generally feeling a little low, this morning journal prompt can help change your outlook.
