Your Truth Reflected
Journaling is the mirror that listens
Reflective Writing Prompts
These prompts are here to help you begin. Your concern will shape the questions you ask. For instance, if you’re wrestling with a career decision, you might start with: What parts of my current job bring me joy? What drains my energy? Each honest response will guide you closer to your answer.
Create a space just for writing—it can be as simple as lighting a candle and pouring a cup of tea. Take a few deep breaths, and set the intention to be open to discovery.
When you write, let the words come without judgment. Don’t search for meaning as you go; simply allow the flow. The insights will reveal themselves when you read and reflect afterward.
