10 Journal Prompts for 2021

10 Journal Prompts for 2021 | Writing Between Pauses

I love journal prompts. I’ve written a few lists of my own journal prompts, as well as writing prompts (which you can use as journaling prompts, natch). I’ve also reviewed, and praised, the 52 Lists books by Moorea Seal more times that I can count.

For 2021, I wanted to start the year on a positive foot—with a focus on self-reflection, not changing myself based on fear, and keeping my self-care routine top of mind. For me, that comes down to journaling.

I wanted to share 10 of the journal prompts I’ve been following this year to help me narrow in my focus for 2021. I hope these journal prompts help you relax, help you think, and help you think of ways you can keep 2021 positive, no matter what happens.
